Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good
arstechnica.com
The power of URL parameters lets you unofficially turn off Google's AI Overview.

Tack “&udm=14” on to the end of a normal search, and you’ll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

    If you’re surprised that people still use Google to search then I hope you don’t get a job as a statistician 😂

      I think people will use whatever is the default set in their browser.

      That said, I do all my searching through “AI” that can search for me, sort through 50 pages, and give me the relevant links. Works every time.
