How I Made Google’s “Web” View My Default Search

Google has added a "Web" filter to its search results that shows plain links without AI overviews, knowledge panels, metadata or ads, but it is buried under the "More" menu. The author, who writes under the name Ars-style blog post with the headline "How I Made Google's 'Web' View My Default Search," says the view is useful for power searchers, though it does not fix declining result quality caused by SEO optimization. Google's Search Liaison Danny Sullivan announced the filter on Twitter, saying it was added for users who prefer to see links to web pages. The author says the view can be set as a default by adding a custom search engine with the URL parameter "udm=14" in browsers such as Vivaldi.
