Show HN: Fuckingsearch.com, search Google without AI Overviews(fuckingsearch.com) i saw last week that if you include a curse word in your Google search query it won't serve an AI overview, serves less ads, and less "zero click" Google properties. so I made a little tool to help facilitate this search, saving you literally hundreds of microseconds! |
However, having thought about this further I now wonder what the range is of curse words that Google exempts from ad placement. The 7 words you can't say on TV? Or do the advertisers themselves choose the opt-out words?
0. use firefox and ublock origin to take care of the ads
1. (re)enable custom search urls[0]
2. add https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s as such a custom search url
Steps 1 & 2 avoid the AI spam on default google by telling it to use the "web" search context ("udm=14").
You have to name your search url, so I call mine Plain Old Google, or POG for short.

But ... this is surprisingly useful and google looks way better this way.
glad it's useful!
and yeah, surprising how much better it makes the SERPs lol
I tested by searching for “Ay.”
Leaving it to the reader to guess the assembled search query ;)
