Not sure this is the right way to post this, but I'm sure quite a few people are as frustrated as I am by the AI enshittification of Google search and would like to know this.
I accidentally discovered in a fit of rage against Google Search that if you add an expletive to a search term, the SERP will avoid showing ads and also an AI overview.
The good thing is that it works also with the "-" (minus) operator, so you can make sure the expletive is actually not included in the result pages.
Try it yourself: search for a fairly generic query that gives you ads and AI overview, and add "-f*k" at the end, uncensored of course.
Enjoy a much better search experience. It might be placebo, but it feels like the results are actually better sorted.
