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.

    IDK about the order but limit yourself to one query equals percent S there.

    To help understand why (since it’s simple enough!):

    google dot com/search?q=%s

    becomes

    google dot com/search?q=YourSearchTerm

    cuz it replaces the %s with what you type.

    So

    google dot com/search?q=%s&udm=14

    looks right to me

      I think I may try both and see what happens just because I’d like to know. Thanks for the response though.

        You should, easy enough.

        Even with %s in a URL twice it’ll probably work, just show the query twice in the navigation bar.
