So... I get that this post is about as old as time... :)
But, I was thoroughly annoyed at the sad support for excluding crossovers, since barely any users (at least in the fandoms I like) actually use the crossover or fusion tag... And I don't really enjoy manually writing all other fandoms I can think of into the "Search Within Results" box, so I wrote a small bookmarklet to do it for me, and while it's very unsophisticated with very little logic (done quite quickly), it still filters away most crossovers with one or two searches (without you having to enter the fandoms manually every single time, which is a bit of a pain).
I would still appreciate a better support for being able to skip crossovers btw... If anyone has any better suggestion of how to solve it, I'll gladly use it
(If anyone actually sees this comment and is interested in the bookmarklet, it can be found here: https://jsfiddle.net/yaruna/vnzhb8tp/2/ It depends on how Ao3 is written, so if they change anything, it might break)
