Google Search how to remove AI reviews

iGuRu.gr > Google Search how to remove AI reviews

Google Search offers a filtering feature that removes AI Insights, knowledge cards, hotel listings, flight frames, and other Google-infused content from search results, leaving only the traditional list of blue links.

The feature has been available for several years and can be enabled by adding the URL parameter &udm=14 to a search query. Manually adding the parameter to each search is cumbersome. However, Chrome users can set this feature (Web Mode) as their default search engine, which will automatically apply it to every search.

How to set Web Mode as default in Chrome on PC

Open the internal link chrome://settings/searchEngines in the address bar.
Click Add in the Site Search section.

In the dialog box, type the following:

Name: Google Web Mode,
Shortcut: @web,
URL with %s in place of the query: {google:baseURL}search?q=%s&udm=14.

Find Google Web Mode in the list of search engines, click the three-dot menu next to it, and select Make default.

Google Search will now run all queries via Web Mode by default.

How to do it on Android

Open it TenBlueLinks.org in Chrome for Android.
Open a new tab in Google search and perform a search.
In the search results, tap the three-dot menu and go to Settings.
In the Search engine section, Google Web should now appear at the bottom.
Select it to set it as the default search engine.

TenBlueLinks.org uses an XML configuration that registers Web Mode with the parameter &udm=14. The site does not see the search queries or participate in the search process. The same approach works in Chrome for iOS.

What Google Search's Web Mode changes and what it doesn't do

Web Mode doesn't improve quality or ranking. It simply filters out the extra content generated by Google and displays it above or next to the regular results.
