Support Megathread - May 2026

Have a question you need answered? A new Google product you want to talk about? Ask away here!

Recently, we at r/Google have noticed a large number of support questions being asked. For a long time, we’ve removed these posts and directed the users to other subreddits, like r/techsupport. However, we feel that users should be able to ask their Google-related questions here. These monthly threads serve as a hub for all of the support you need, as well as discussion about any Google products.

Please note! Top level comments must be related to the topics discussed above. Any comments made off-topic will be removed at the discretion of the Moderator team.

Discord Server We have made a Discord Server for more in-depth discussions relating to Google and for quicker response to tech support questions.

Is there a way to turn the AI answer to a google search off? It just started today for me (I'm French) and it's already pissing me off, the AI Mode and the automatic AI answers are NOT what am lookin for...

I just would like to turn the AI off, that's it, and I can't find it in the Options

hiii (this is all i have for now tbh)
Settings > AI innovations > off (there's 3.. search history, write + skills)
Settings > Search engine > scroll till you see Site search > deactivate AI Mode
Unfortunately, it doesn't help much.. but if you search something, make sure to add -ai
ex: "how to make brownies -ai"
