I like to read spicy things online. I’ve found that Google, even with safe search disabled, hides much of these unless your search is itself obviously explicit. I append “sex” to search for these without affecting results much. Entire sites are hidden otherwise.

The downside of this approach is that it can affect the search results returned. But I found that if you add " -fuck" or " -fucking" to your search term, it disables the AI summary without significantly affecting your search results (unless you happen to be looking for content of a certain kind).

Why would I want to do that? I find the summaries very useful

I'd go out on a limb and guess that the advice is meant for people who don't find them useful.

I don't, for two reasons. First, for looking up facts, they're nowhere near 100% dependable. If I need to check sources, might as well start there. Second, if someone made the effort to put useful content on the internet, I can grace them with a click.

If I start fucking adding swear words to all my fucking search queries, how the fuck will the stupid ass search engine know that I did not want it to use that shit as one of my keywords and give me back a whole lot of fucked up shit?

How you will you ever find out why there all these fracking snakes on this motherloving plane?
