A Bit of a Fix for Google's Enshittified Search

OK, so we do a search, and you will notice two things: You get Google's unbelievably crappy AI, and that it only shares about 10 non advertising results.

There used to be an option for more than 10 results a page, but Google went to an infinite scroll (boo), and then went back to pages (yay), but removed the settings for up to 100 results per page. (Guck Foogle)

This is all about increasing engagement by enshittifying the user experience, and we can thank one person in particular, Prabhakar Raghavan, who failed up at Yahoo to become head of advertising at Google, and then pushed out the then head of search in order to generate ads by crapping on the quality of search.

See Ed Zitron's essay, "The Man Who Killed Google Search," for more information.

So, go to your search dialogue, and click on settings, and you end up on search settings

Scroll down until you get to the search engines

Click to add an engine

Enter a name for your engine, add the following URL https://www.google.com/search?q=$s&udm=14&num=200 . As the help screen notes, %s is the search term.

The "udm=14" argument (case sensitive) turns off the AI with the added bonus of removing a fair amount of the crap that pollutes the chocolate factory's regular search.
The num=200 (case sensitive) argument changes the number of results per page.
Then click add engine.

Scroll back up to the top of the settings page, and set this as your default search engine.

Now, you get a search without most of the Google stalker detritus, and the number of results that you want. (200 is good for me)

One final note, I AM NOT SERIAL KILLER ED KEMPER!!!
We look nothing alike.
That's an 18 year old me on the left from a passport picture, and Mr. Kemper on the right.
Warning, do not Google Ed Kemper if you have a faint heart. Seriously.
