The topic You can turn off AI in Google Search results with this easy modifier<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

AI in Google Search can be useful, but it\u2019s also one of those \u201clove it or hate it\u201d tools. If you\u2019ve been wanting to turn AI Overviews in Google Search off, though, there\u2019s a pretty easy way to do that.<\/p>\n

Officially, there\u2019s no one way to turn off AI Overviews in Google Search. Google has said from the very beginning that AI Overviews are a feature of Search in the same way that Featured Snippets and Knowledge Panels are. There\u2019s a \u201cWeb\u201d filter that brings back the original \u201c10 blue links\u201d version of Search, and some other workarounds.<\/p>\n

An option that\u2019s not super well known, though, is a quick and easy modifier.<\/p>\n

If you add \u201c-ai\u201d to the end of your query, the resulting Google Search will be free of AI Overviews. It\u2019s really that simple.<\/p>\n

Google Search modifiers \u2013 also known as \u201coperators\u201d \u2013 have existed for ages, with one of the most useful being to add quotation marks (\u201d \u201c) to specific words to ensure that Google is looking for that exact spelling and order of words. But there are a ton of other useful tweaks like this \u201c-ai\u201d one. Google details a number of these on a support page.<\/p>\n

While this modifier isn\u2019t a permanent solution, it\u2019s a useful way to exclude AI Overviews in places you might not want to see them.<\/p>\n
