Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica - Lemmy.World

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.

A small proxy site was written to do this for you: https://udm14.com/
&udm=14 | the disenshittification Konami code

A quick way to get an AI-free search without any extra work.

Can also just add a custom search engine to Firefox with the search URL string:

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

No need to go through a completely separate site.

I’m not a programmer. Can I add this to the url string I already have as my default customer search?

Example:

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

Or is this the same thing as yours: www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

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

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.
