How to remove the AI overview in Google searches

If you use a Chrome based browser and prefer not to see the Google AI overview, follow these steps.

1. Click the hamburger menu.
2. Go to settings.
3. Search or locate Search Engines.
4. Create a new Search Engine - click the + symbol.
5. Name your new Search Engine, you will need to create a short and long name. For example, NoAI and No AI Overview.
6. In the URL field use this: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14
7. Set your new search as default.

That's it, done. Now when you search via your browser you will not be offered the AI version, instead you will just see the search results. Old School!

• At the time of writing the AI results are still available if you want them.
• To switch back - just go back into settings and make the original Google Search default.
