Kagi. Because it's a paid service, they aren't constantly looking for ways to sell their user base's time, attention and data to their real customers. You are the customer.
Don't want AI? Turn it off and you'll never see it again.
Yep, it's switched off by default. I like to share this, because I can send it to non-techy people and they instantly have a working search engine, without fiddling with settings.
i use it because i use a browser extension that creates temporary throwaway containers replacing all "No Container" to keep site cookies isolated intelligently
There must be a way because it no longer appears for me on my phone, but still pops up if I use another device I don't use much for browsing, like my PC. IDK how I managed to turn it off tho. Maybe it just got sick of me swearing at it.

Genuinely, thank you for the original. I see this edited into a meme so often, I couldn't even remember what the original was.

It's not just possible, it's the obvious choice. Google search has been shit for a long time.

bonus: most of these (and some of the other suggestions on this thread, like SearXNG) protect your privacy better than Google does

Regular ddg also just has a setting where you can turn it off. Is this different?

You don't need to turn it off each time you clear your cookies.

You can
fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 37d
You can already do this. Just append -ai to the end of the search
You can edit your browsers default Google search URL pattern to just always have -ai at the end.
Niklast@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 37d
You can also edit the search url to default to the web tab, which only shows link results

SearXNG will not include AI overviews

SearXNG is the single best experience you can get for a search engine imo.

Except when only search result come from mwmbl and yacy because other are banned/captcha/tieout.
canniest_tod@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 37d
I find duckduckgo's results more useful/reliable and you absolutely can disable the ai.

I don't mind ai, I just don't want their ai

Use a different engine?
98vesselsreptile@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 37d
You can add -ai to your search and it will do this

If you change your location to France in the region settings (or vpn, I presume) it will turn off the default AI results. Worked for me.
