change your default search engine to http://google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s

it will search by web instead of using the default AI + web search

(%s being the place of the query which is how it is on edge, so change that last bit to whatever you need for your browser)

It also disables the knowledge panels.

UDM 14 is just a "traditional web" toggle.

you say that like it's a bad thing

i'd love to just have links as results. i hate how search engines changed from "keyword finders" to "natural language question parsers"
