Filter AI out of Google

Ever felt frustrated with Google''s AI Overviews cluttering your search results? You are not alone. These AI Overviews, once known as Search Generative Experience (SGE), aim to provide quick answers right on the search results page. But they have been criticized for factual errors and the lack of an easy opt-out feature. Luckily, there are several ways to minimize or remove these AI Overviews from your Google search results.

Key Features

1. Use the NOT Operator

One simple method is to use the NOT operator in your search query. Just add NOT AI at the end of your search term. For example, typing who owns Facebook NOT AI will exclude AI generated content from your results.

2. Switch to the Web Filter

Google has a ''Web'' filter that displays traditional search results without AI Overviews. After performing a search, click on the ''More'' button underneath the search bar and select ''Web'' from the menu. This will remove AI Overviews from the current search results, though you will need to select it manually for each search.

3. Use or Create a Proxy Site

To automate the process of filtering out AI Overviews, you can use the proxy site udm14.com. This site lets you search without AI Overviews. Alternatively, set up a custom search engine in your browser by adding a new search engine with the URL {google:baseURL}/search?q=%s&udm=14 and setting it as your default.

4. Turn Off Experimental Features

If you have enabled experimental features in Google Labs, you can turn them off by visiting Google Labs or clicking the flask icon on Google''s homepage and toggling off the AI Overviews option.

5. Use Browser Extensions

Several browser extensions can hide AI Overviews

• Bye Bye, Google AI Available for Chrome and Edge, this extension hides AI Overviews and other blocks like discussions, shopping, and sponsored links.
• uBlock Origin This extension lets you create filters to block AI Overviews. Add the filter google.com##.GcKpu in the uBlock settings.

6. Set Up a Custom Google Search Engine

Create a custom search engine that filters out AI Overviews by adding a new search engine in your browser settings with the URL {google:baseURL}/search?q=%s&udm=14 and setting it as your default.

7. Mobile Solutions

For mobile users, visit tenbluelinks.org to add the udm=14 parameter to your searches. Firefox users can manually add a custom search engine with the URL google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s.
