Love the simpler search results tip. For those using Safari on iOS (which doesn’t support adding custom search engines), I found the xSearch app (no affiliation), a Safari plug-in which lets you easily create a new engine as described in the newsletter link. You can even make that engine the default for Safari. It seems pretty cool so far. It also makes it very easy to invoke other search engines from Safari.
One note on the "clean" Google results. If you are using Chrome you can get the same experience post search by clicking on the "web" tab (where you select images, shopping, etc.). It might be hidden behind the More. If you look in the URL string once you click the web tab you will see they have added the udm=14 in there.
Brain lock prevented me from thinking about the fact that the "type" tabs are built into the SERP itself, so this trick works for Safari as well. And, once you have clicked to "web" any subsequent searches in that browser window will stay in the stripped down mode. So, this is a good alternative for people who do not want to default to the clean results but might prefer them for a body of searches.
I asked because the bit about the google career thing was more effusive than I think warranted. The advice given seems generic to me. Thanks, Kevin. (Big fan, “Out of control” had a big impact on me back in the day!)

Thanks for the tip. I’ve been trying different search engines and my favorite so far is Firefox

How much ai do you guys use to generate the text in this?
Zero. This is a 100% totally human written newsletter.
