What is Google udm=14?
The udm=14 parameter requests Google’s Web filter: a view centered on text-based website links. It changes the search view rather than an account preference. A link without that parameter can return to the usual All view.
Try a udm=14 search
Open the example below to request Web results directly. The q value is the search phrase and udm=14 selects the view. A saved browser search provider substitutes your own phrase into that URL.

How OpenSearch works
This page links to an OpenSearch description named Google Web. A compatible browser reads that small XML file and can save its search URL. The URL points directly to Google; ridofai.com does not receive or relay the search terms.
You can inspect the OpenSearch XML. Its search-term placeholder is replaced by your browser, and the fixed parameter requests udm=14.
https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14What the Web filter leaves out
Web results favor text links. Image groups, knowledge panels, news modules and other rich features may disappear along with AI Overviews. Select All, Images or News when you need a different view. The parameter is a search-view request, not a permanent account preference.
Frequently asked questions
Does udm=14 turn off AI Overview permanently?
It requests the Web view for a particular URL. Saving Google Web as your default applies the parameter to new address-bar searches, which is more convenient than selecting Web every time. It does not change your account, and a link to the All view can still display its normal features.
What is the difference between udm=14 and AI Mode?
They select different search experiences. The Web filter requests a text-link view; AI Mode opens a conversational interface. Saving a Web search provider does not delete AI Mode history or prevent you from opening it directly. The extension also offers a separate control for supported AI Mode entry points.
Does OpenSearch send queries through ridofai.com?
No. The description contains a Google URL with a search-term placeholder and udm=14. After adding the provider, the browser sends queries straight to Google. RidOfAI serves the XML description and icon but does not relay the searches or receive their search terms through this mechanism.
Can Chrome on a phone use udm=14?
Chrome can list recently visited search providers in its Search engine settings. Visit this page in Chrome, make a Google search and look for Google Web there. Provider discovery can vary by Chrome version. Use a direct Web link when the provider is not listed.
Why did images or a knowledge panel disappear?
The Web filter changes more than the AI Overview. It favors text links and can omit image groups, knowledge panels, news modules and other rich features. Switch to Images, News or All when you need them. Use individual extension controls if you prefer to keep the surrounding search view.
How do I restore my old search engine?
Open the browser’s search settings and choose the provider you used before Google Web. You can keep Google Web as a shortcut or remove its entry. A bookmark or direct Web link still works independently of the default, so changing the default back does not remove that option.
