Fed up with search results being cluttered with AI-generated summaries? All it takes to filter out AI overviews is a few clever tweaks. This gives you the ability to cut through the noise and get more classic search results.
How to do it:
– In Google Search, add -ai (with the dash) to your search query to help remove AI-driven summaries and related content.
– Want older, pre-AI content? Add before:2023 to your query to limit results to pages published before that year.
Example searches:
‘how to create a secure password -ai’
‘best historical architecture books -ai before:2023’
With a bit of playing around you can really hone your searches. Who knew it could be that simple to filter out AI overviews? 🙂
Pro-Tip: These filters are especially useful when researching technical topics or looking for trusted, older sources that aren’t mixed with newer AI-generated content. Quick, effective, and ideal for cutting through clutter.
