If you're like me, basically everything other than search results in a search engine is noise. To that end, I direct my Google searches directly to the "web" tab of the results. This chops off news, shopping, video, images, etc from the initial results you see but you can still change to those tabs just as easily as ever. In your browser's settings just find the option to manage search engines, add a new one, and set the url to use to https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14 and you land on results. No AI misinterpretation of what you're looking for. No confident nonsense that directly contradicts reality sitting at the top of the page. No judgement or chiding (Google's results AI has flat out told me my opinion sucks mid-search more times than I'd like to admit). Just results.
