Not google, but https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
Regular ddg also just has a setting where you can turn it off. Is this different?
Yep, it's switched off by default. I like to share this, because I can send it to non-techy people and they instantly have a working search engine, without fiddling with settings.
You don't need to turn it off each time you clear your cookies.
You can already do this. Just append -ai to the end of the search
You can edit your browsers default Google search URL pattern to just always have -ai at the end.
SearXNG will not include AI overviews
I find duckduckgo's results more useful/reliable and you absolutely can disable the ai.
There must be a way because it no longer appears for me on my phone, but still pops up if I use another device I don't use much for browsing, like my PC. IDK how I managed to turn it off tho. Maybe it just got sick of me swearing at it.
Disable AI extension on Firefox-based browsers.
If you change your location to France in the region settings (or vpn, I presume) it will turn off the default AI results. Worked for me.
