Google is utilizing artificial intelligence to provide complete answers to search queries, termed as “AI summaries.” However, some users may prefer a more traditional search results page. Solutions are available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge to revert to the traditional search experience. While AI-driven search results offer a more tailored approach, inaccuracies in the latest “AI Summary” feature are on the rise.
To disable AI summaries in search results, users can use browser extensions or settings. The “Goodbye Google AI” extension, developed by Avram Piltch, hides AI results, discussions, forums, and ads using CSS. For Microsoft Edge, users can follow steps to install the extension, modify settings, and hide AI overviews. Similarly, Google Chrome users can add the extension and customize settings to block AI summaries.
Alternatively, users can create a custom search engine to hide AI results while using Google search. In Microsoft Edge, users can manage search engines, add a custom engine with specific settings, and set it as the default option. Likewise, Google Chrome users can access search engine settings, add a custom engine, configure settings, and set it as the default search option. This allows users to search from the address bar or new tab page while hiding AI summaries.
It’s important to note that Google also employs AI to rank and display search results, including blue links alongside AI summaries. As a personal preference, some users now find themselves verifying information on Bing after conducting searches on Google due to the increased influence of AI in Google search results.
Overall, users have the option to customize their search experience by utilizing extensions, browser settings, or creating custom search engines to tailor search results to their preferences. These methods can help users avoid AI summaries and access more traditional search results.
