Despite a rocky start, Google AI Overviews are now prevalent in search results, with nearly 50% of Google searches incorporating them, according to a December 2024 study. However, many users find these overviews more frustrating, particularly when seeking direct links instead of answers. To address these concerns, Google has introduced a 'Web' filter that delivers only text-based links in search results. Users can access these results conveniently through their browser's address bar, enhancing their search experience by bypassing non-link content like AI summaries.
Even better, you can get those link-based results on Google just by searching from your browser address bar.
When the Web filter is selected, your search results will return only text-based links, with no AI summaries, videos or knowledge panels.
