Google’s AI-generated search overviews can be overwhelming or inaccurate. You can bypass them entirely by adding a URL parameter that forces traditional search results.

To disable AI Overview:

Add &udm=14 to your Google search URL:

https://www.google.com/search?q=your+search+query&udm=14

Or bookmark this URL to use it as your default search:

https://www.google.com/search?udm=14

What it does:

The udm=14 parameter appears to activate Google’s “Web” search mode, which shows only traditional blue link results without AI summaries. It’s particularly useful when:

• You want authoritative source links, not AI interpretations
• The AI overview is giving incorrect information
• You prefer to evaluate sources yourself
• You need faster, less cluttered results

Making it permanent:

Create a custom search engine in your browser settings with this URL format, or use browser extensions that automatically append the parameter to Google searches.
