Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

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.

Hmm, not for me for some reason.

Edit: looks like it depends on the search.

I dunno, I don't use Google almost ever.

Must be logged in, in my experience.

Saw it appear on a first search from a logged in US Google account, then disappeared on a second search* - but allowed itself to be re-enabled from Labs.

*granted, I was testing the pizza glue search

Crazy. Normally it's annoying that tech companies limit some features to US only, this time I'm all for it.
