Hi Xunzi_23,
Thanks.
Quick Look suggests there are two different methods to decrease undesired elements in search.
One blocks AI stuff, the other (OpenSearch) searches a particular website.
I will have to try it to appreciate the pluses and minuses.
Hi steves, maybe better to give more info directly :-).
UDM 14 (udm=14, &udm=14)
This tool provides a streamlined way to search Google for purely organic aka, non AI, results, udm=14 parameter removes all advertising, AI-generated content, and sponsored placements, returning only standard web results. It’s ideal for researchers, privacy-focused users, and anyone wanting a cleaner, distraction-free view of Google’s organic algorithm in action.
What is udm=14?The udm=14 parameter is a Google Search modifier that restricts your results to only organic, non-sponsored listings. This means it hides advertisements, featured snippets, shopping results, and any (not sure there) other AI-generated or monetised elements.
When you use udm=14, you will get cleanest possible results ranked purely by Google’s internal organic algorithm.
Google has increasingly integrated AI-based results, featured snippets, generative answers including ai hallicinations, and furter summaries derived from its own language models. normal google search results may misrepresent complex topics or result in reduced search diversity.
While I am at Google’s URL parameters, another one you might want to add is
&tbs=li:1. This will automatically trigger “verbatim” search, which makes Google use your exact search inputs instead of fuzzy searching everything.More of the 60 plus known search parameters at

And some info on other lesser known google speaciality search engines, some with separate urls.
