Android Police’s Jon Gilbert outlines a few ways to get Google Search results without AI Overviews.
Why it mattersOn desktop, choose Web under More in the search filters. On mobile, swipe left along the filter bar to find Web. It removes other filters too, so results are blue links only. Want to keep filters such as Images or Maps? Add -ai to the search query. Gilbert also gives steps for setting up a Chrome custom search shortcut on desktop, though that option is not available in Chrome’s mobile apps.
Discuss: Should Google make it easier to switch off AI Overviews, or is finding the Web filter a fair way to let people choose?
