Tack “&udm=14” on to the end of a normal search, and you’ll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.
A small proxy site was written to do this for you: https://udm14.com/
Can also just add a custom search engine to Firefox with the search URL string:
https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s
No need to go through a completely separate site.
I’m not a programmer. Can I add this to the url string I already have as my default custome search?
Example:
https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14&q=%s
Or is this the same thing as yours: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14
IDK about the order but limit yourself to one query equals percent S there.
To help understand why (since it’s simple enough!):
becomes
cuz it replaces the %s with what you type.
So
looks right to me
I think I may try both and see what happens just because I’d like to know. Thanks for the response though.
You should, easy enough.
Even with %s in a URL twice it’ll probably work, just show the query twice in the navigation bar.
And this way you’ll be sure the intermediate site isn’t also scraping your data.
That site is open source, in GitHub. Not much to it.
