MacOS Safari - Turn off AI summary in Google Search

"Google is going to make that as hard to do as possible."

Not at the moment they don't. They make it incredibly easy to do in Firefox (I've done it) and possibly other browsers. It requires a custom Google search to be set up. My original question was whether I could do this in Safari and that was answered ages ago by Jim.

If you read my posts then you'd see that I regularly try other search engines and although they mostly work I often end up with less than half a dozen results, many useless, or even none at all. When I try the same search in Google I'll usually get a couple of pages of more useful hits. Just my experience. The last time I used DDG then the exclusions didn't work (e.g. a search for "replace disk in Time Capsule -Youtube" gave me only Youtube hits, instead of excluding them as it does in Google. Some other booleans didn't work in DDG like they do in Google but the overarching reason is that DDG doesn't find stuff that Google does. If I'm being led astray then it's by Google finding the things that I'm looking for. I'm not a Google fan. I wish the competition would get good enough to switch, but at the moment it's not.

I've read all your posts. After your first one I tried to clarify that my use-case is Firefox, Safari and Google. I also made it clear that it is possible to search with Google without an AI summary in Firefox and my original question was how to do this in Safari but you persisted with suggesting other approaches and then seem to get annoyed when I don't want to take them. The fact that I'm not really interested in Brave or changing my search engine to something other than Google doesn't mean that I'm not reading your posts - it means they don't meet my requirements. The fact that my experience with Google doesn't match yours doesn't mean that one of us is wrong, it means that we probably use them differently. I really don't understand why you seem so annoyed by this.

It's ok, thanks. I've sorted it.

Thanks for the tip.
