Don't reply "just Google it"
It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.
So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

Correct.
Use udm14.org instead.
I don't get it. I entered a search term and I was just redirected to regular Google.
The difference is you're not getting ads or AI. It's basically google from 2010.
Seems great, thanks for sharing!

I got redirected to regular Google. If that's only supposed to be a different landing page, I can just as well search from the address bar.

Use something else then. Cheers.
Yeah, DuckDuckGo is the way to go.
Kindly do not portray DDG as an "alternative" because it is now trash as well.
2 years ago it was the alternative, today its a sidegrade at best

A simple redirector to regular Google is really not an alternative at all.
Did you notice that there was a different parameter in the udm14.org version? https://tedium.co/2024/05/17/google-web-search-make-default/

I noticed that my test search term was fully tracked by Google because it's still regular Google. Use https://startpage.com/ if you want de-shittified Google.

I mean, the biggest issue with me for the great googlio isn't the ads and the ai, both of which I hate, but the actual shit-infested results. It's not removing the ads full of SEO that are posing as websites, it's just giving you an old UI for the new 2025™ search.
