Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good

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.

wait, is the AI thing automatically enabled in the US?

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.
