Google added the AI Overviews section in its search engine in May. When users search for questions, Google AI Overview automatically grabs web content and generates summaries. Users can obtain answers without clicking on each search result.
This feature aims to use artificial intelligence to help users quickly get complete answers. However, sometimes the results displayed by AI are not so accurate. Here I will show you how to stop Google AI search results from being displayed.
Step 1: Click the Extensions icon next to the Google Chrome search box, then click "Manage extensions". Click "Chrome Web Store".
Step 2: Type "Hide Google AI Overviews" in the Chrome Web Store search box.
Step 3: Click on the first result, then choose "Add to Chrome".
Step 4: In the pop-up window to confirm, click "Add extension".
Now, Google AI overview turn-off is in effect. To re-enable Google AI, simply disable the extension:
Step 1: Click on Extensions, click the three dots next to "Hide Google AI Overviews", then choose "Manage extension".
Step 2: Turn it off. You can activate it again as needed.
Tips: You can also try the "Bye Bye, Google AI" Chrome extension to disable AI on Google. With this extension, you can also choose to remove other content from Google results, such as discussions or ads.
Step 1: Open a new tab in Google Chrome and enter the following address:
chrome://settings/searchEngines
Step 2: Go to "Site search" and click "Add".
Step 3: In the pop-up window, fill in the following details and click the Add button once done:
Name: Google Web
Shortcut: google.us
URL with %s in place of query: {google:baseURL}/search?udm=14&q=%s
Step 4: Click the three dots next to "Google Web" and select "Make default".
This way, when you perform a search, Google Chrome will automatically redirect search results to the Web Results interface.
Notes: This function is similar to manually clicking the "web" option after each Google search to filter out and turn off Google search AI answers, but using this method automates the process for you.
