Wish it worked consistently. But always has issues at start
Tried using this and following directions perfectly but cant stand it. I search andnit searches normally in safari without the extension intercepting the page, and then I try reloading and it doesnt work, disable the re-enable it and theres a better chance it works.... but its still inconsistent and there is no guarantee. I just was trying to add a prefix to a google search and after days of tinkering and adjusting it still doesnt work consistently.

It just works
This needs to be a function in Safari outside the 5 default engine options. I can finally use Google without the AI overview again without having to do it manually. Thank you for your work :)
App crash during export settings
When I try export as json, the app crashes every time.
Ummm! No way!
Setup requires me to enable google.com / Deleted Immediately!
Take notes, Apple
Other than the slight delay it adds by blocking then redirecting the query, it does exactly what it needs to do, works perfectly, and should be a basic feature of Safari.
Disable Google AI
I can't find any clear directions on how to set up CSE to disable that ,deleted> AI in Google Search.
Can anyone help with this, point by point? TIA!
Looks awesome! Kudos to Kissuk! Wish there were clear instructions on this. I assume everyone is looking to disable AI.

Couldn’t get it to work
Great idea but I couldn’t get it work on my iPad Pro. I completed the set up twice, however I still kept getting google’s AI. It may be conflicting with another extension.
Works fine on macOS but not iOS
See title. Using the same settings for both, for udm14.
Works as expected, but…
It causes rapid redirecting with google, causing google to *always* declare I am a robot and have to go through a captcha. This is extremely annoying.
Don’t use it
I was liking it to begin with but then I realised that I might be leaking literally all my searches to Google? For instance I searched once with my normal search engine and suddenly found that Google had opened instead! I don’t think the issue is leaking to Apple like the developer says, it’s Google to worry about (Safari lets you turn off the Safari search suggestions anyway).
Additionally, I don’t like the block page I see when I search with the blocker on. It’s sometimes there for several seconds before redirecting. And other times it remains stuck and search doesn’t work (this is still an issue on the latest version).
I would personally recommend simply using xSearch. It has all the features of CSE without these bugs and glitches.

Works great!
I can finally use startpage as my main search engine in safari on my phone, Mac & iPad! I hate google so much
Does what it says on the tin, and does it perfectly!
I rarely take the time to write app reviews, but I was so impressed with CSE and how effectively it took care of one of iOS’s biggest headaches: the search engine. AND it works in private mode too! As an active Kagi user, I could never find a great solution that was seamless with iOS Safari but this app is super easy to configure whatever custom search engine you want and it worked instantly. Super, super impressed.

Awesome app, but recent problem with google
First of all, I just want to say I love this app. I changed it to add &udm=14 to my Google searches to get rid of the AI overviews, I have tons of shortcuts like adding wbm before my url’s to open them in the Wayback Machine, etc. Amazing tool. However, I’ve recently been having a problem with my Google searches, where it basically searches ten times in a row as it keeps switching back and forth between All and Web. Because of this, I have to answer captchas every time I want to look something up, which gets annoying. Still a great extension though.

does exactly what I need

This app lets me block those awful ai overviews just fine. Most apps are garbage, spam you with ads, or beg for money. This one doesn’t

Started out well
I was liking it to begin with but then I realised that I might be leaking literally all my searches to Google? For instance I searched once with my normal search engine and suddenly found that Google had opened instead! I hadn’t turned on the blocker as I didn’t like the way I saw a block page before every search. I don’t think the issue is leaking to Apple, it’s Google to worry about.
Additionally, I don’t like the block page I see when I search with the blocker on. It’s sometimes there for several seconds before redirecting. And other times it remains stuck and search doesn’t work (this is still an issue on the latest version).

I need help
I can't search anything on it please tell me how
Great
This is a fantastic, fantastic app, which I can use with Safari extensions to redirect all my queries, the opposite of everybody's review: directly to AI. For example, I use g.ai, which is Google's super‑fast AI mode, and it is absolutely brilliant. Thanks developer!!
Safariの利便性を高める神アプリ
iPhone &MacともSafariユーザーですが、もうこのアプリ抜きではブラウザが使えないくらいに便利すぎます！
Safariは選べる検索エンジンが少なく不便でしたが、このアプリのおかげで自由自在に選ぶことができて、検索の効率がすごく上がってます
唯一、もし可能ならクイック検索を使うときに、先頭キーワードと検索内容の間に入れる空白（スペース）が半角だけでなく全角も使えるようになったらうれしいです
これからも応援してます！

Fixes a major Safari annoyance
Installation is a little fiddly, but it is well worth the time and effort. If you find Apple’s list of search engines too limited give this a try. There is no fee or link to donate-I would gladly pay for this functionality.
