What Is udm=14? Google Web Results Only

What udm=14 means

udm is the parameter Google uses to choose which results "mode" to show. The value 14 is the Web filter: classic web links, no AI Overview, no generative summary, no extra modules. Adding &udm=14 to a Google search URL gives you a clean, fast results page.

udm=14Web, plain links, no AI Overview
udm=2Images
udm=7Videos
udm=12News
udm=18Forums

The exact list shifts over time as Google adds modes, but udm=14 has reliably meant Web-only results.

Why people use it

How to use it on every search

You can add &udm=14 by hand, but that gets old fast. Two better options:

  1. Custom search engine In your browser settings, add a search engine with https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14 and set it as default. Address-bar searches then load Web results, but links you click elsewhere still bypass it.
  2. VanishAI (covers everything) Install the free VanishAI extension. It adds udm=14 to every Google search automatically, including searches you reach from other sites, and you can toggle it off anytime.

Why not a CSS "AI hider"? Extensions that hide the AI Overview with styling break whenever Google changes class names. udm=14 uses Google's own filter, so it stays stable.

Frequently asked questions

Does udm=14 still work?

Yes. It is Google's own Web-results parameter, so it is stable and does not depend on page layout.

Will it remove Images or Maps?

No. udm=14 only applies to the search you add it to. Image, Video, and Map searches work normally, and VanishAI leaves them alone.

Is VanishAI free?

Yes, free and private. It runs locally, collects no data, and never reads page content.
