    Prefer an option to run Google Search sans AI?
    Instructions for Chromium and Gecko based browsers..
    Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox and derivatives.

    Check it out over on: ghacks

    Tested on Firefox and ESR which both work well here as a fallback browser search engine.

    Big shout to to Martin Brinkmann for the blog!

    For Firefox:
    about:config
    browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh
    Create NEW bolean and set to TRUE
    [Restart browser]

    Load about:preferences to display interface.
    select search options.
    Click on the [ADD] button.

    Type any name for the search engine
    eg: Googlenot
    Add

    https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

    into the Engine URL field.
    Type any alias, eg: @googlenot
    Click on Add Engine.

    Scroll to the top of the page.
    Select the newly created search engine as the default search engine
    or keep it as a secondary option.
    Run a test search..

    Windows - commercial by definition and now function...
