I’m in the minority when it comes to AI summaries. I hate them. I’ll save the reasons for another time—I’m here to share how to see your search results faster. (In this, I know I’m not alone.) It takes just a quick addition to every search query. Just type: -ai This instruction tells Google to remove the AI summary. It’s called a search operator, which you may already be familiar with as a concept. Typically, the minus sign tells the engine to ignore the phrase or term after it. For Google, it’ll block the entire AI summary. On occasion, Google will ignore this request, but most of the time I’m able to avoid delayed results and extra scrolling by adding this three-character string to the end of my searches. If you like having this extra control over your searches, memorizing a handful of operators can supercharge your results. For example, adding site:url to a query will hunt through just that one website for your search term. (I sometimes use this trick to find older PCWorld articles I want to reference in my writing.) You can look at a sample list of operators via Google’s user help pages —I recommend memorizing the double-quotes, minus sign, filetype, and date ranges as a starter set. It’s far faster to type those than use a mouse to set search parameters!
