Google has introduced an AI Overview feature that dominates search results but can lead to frustrations stemming from outdated information. Users seeking traditional link-based search results can enable the 'Web' search filter in their Google settings. This new filter shows only text-based links, eliminating AI-generated content. Users can access this filter below the search box or through browser address bar searches, enhancing their search experience with direct website links instead of AI summaries and ads, though some ads may still appear for specific queries.
"AI has shown up more and more over the last few years, and now Google's AI Overviews show up in almost half of all searches."
"By configuring your Google settings, you can ensure you get only websites in your search results using the 'Web' search filter."
"The new filter should appear below the search box on the Google Search results page, among other filters like News, Images and Videos."
"In our initial tests of Google's Web filter, we did not see any sponsored search results or other advertisements, but that filter will still return ad results for certain search queries."
