Prefixing the application's name has usually helped in my searches. For example, "round down in apple numbers". Smaller scale applications I've had more trouble with though: almost any search for help with Sketch returns a ton of results for SketchUp.

Coincidently, I was investigating Sketch last week. I ran into the same issue. I ended up using "Sketch App" in my queries with mixed results. Similar to your suggestion, I also tried tacking on "Bohemian" -- as in Bohemian Coding -- the app's developers.
