Google I/O, or as I like to call it, @udm14.bsky.social goes viral yet again day. For what it’s worth, I’ve been keeping an eye on the web search trying to figure out if Google will squash it. It celebrates its two-year anniversary on Thursday. They’ve barely messed with it.

Around two years after its launch, @udm14.bsky.social is still getting introduced to folks. It appeared in @morningbrew.bsky.social this morning.

To-Do List

✔ Bake: Don't be a hero, just make Dolly Parton's blueberry muffin mix for breakfast.**

✔ Read like a billionaire: JPMorgan's summer reading list for the wealthy.

✔ Search: A site that searches the web with no Al overview.

Heads-up: udm56 is no longer working—Google appears to have disabled that. We’ve added a redirect to udm14.

Here’s @tedium.co’s assessment of the changes to the Web view we’re based on. Does it break what we do? No—but it could add an extra step to searches. tedium.co/2025/07/25/g...

Google announces a plan to add yet another barrier to the ease of getting an ultra-simple Web search. Great.

We added this piece to the @udm14.bsky.social homepage. Our tool makes AI overviews less annoying, but in aggregate, the knock-on effects matter. We hope you click the link and read Emanuel’s excellent piece.

In that year, we’ve seen 1.75 million unique visitors across udm14.com and udm14.org, and we get 140,000 new visitors every month. Turns out, people just want Google to work! We hope our little hack keeps working for years to come.

For transparency, a quick note: We added a small ad to support server costs. It is from a trusted partner we’ve worked with for years, and can be easily ignored. If you don’t want it, the original version is here: udm14.com/old/

It's entirely possible the ampersand is driving it nuts. I attempted to update the code to be close to a known working one and it didn't work.

&udm=14 @udm14.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Maybe a bug on Thunderbird’s end? I tried a few things and could not get it to work. It seems to be the only browser that doesn’t like it. Also, they ended up making other things on the server end mad. Given that this is a niche use case, I’d suggest reaching out to them to determine the issue.

&udm=14 @udm14.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

It may be a Thunderbird-specific bug as the format works just fine in Firefox. I have made a couple of tweaks on my end but it seems like it’s not happy whatever I do.

According to @metafilter.bsky.social if you put a swear word in your search you can skip the AI. I think that means &udm=14 is also a swear word according to Google. Fuck yeah! www.metafilter.com/207430/Spoil...

We don’t make changes often, but the search button on mobile moved below the search box. Only one person raised an issue about it, and that person was using the largest text size in Android, but something tells us other people might appreciate this, too.

An update to udm14 that moves the button below the search box.
