Tech Tip - Refine Google Results by Filtering Out AI Overviews

Finding search results cluttered with AI-generated summaries? You can cut through the noise and get more classic search results by using a few clever tweaks.

How to:

– In Google Search, add -ai (with the dash) to your search query to help remove AI-driven summaries and related content.
– Want older, pre-AI content? Add before:2023 to your query to limit results to pages published before that year.

Example searches:

'how to create a secure password -ai'
'best historical architecture books -ai before:2023'

Pro-Tip: These filters are especially useful when researching technical topics or looking for trusted, older sources that aren’t mixed with newer AI-generated content. Quick, effective, and ideal for cutting through clutter.
