- Tap the Search bar and enter your query as usual.
![enter search query into google search bar]( "enter search query into google search bar")
- Tap the white arrow in the blue box to start your search.
![tap blue arrow to do google search]( "tap blue arrow to do google search")
- You'll see AI search results at the top of the results.
![search results without -ai]( "search results without -ai")
- Now add -AI at the end of your search terms.
![add -ai to search query]( "add -ai to search query")
- This will force Google to omit AI search results, and you'll see your search results with zero AI.
