    For anyone reading this but not the article, the issue is that the AI interprets the query literally as a command to disregard the query. So Google’s AI does exactly that. The actual search works as normal, and Google didn’t ban or otherwise censor the word.

      sure they did … by forcing bullshit ai that has multiple flaws and gives bullshit information.

      these companies get no logical passes anymore. everything they do, is a direct attack on the planet and humanity and shouldn’t ever be met with 'its not really their fault because…

      it’s always their fault…

      Like I have to go to gemini for it to not work? I just searched it and the results are:

      1. Definition of disregard
      2. Techcrunch article about “you can no longer google the word disregard”
      3. Reddit post about how you can’t Google it now 4+ definition again, more articles about not being able to Google it.

      Has the term “Google it” changed meaning suddenly?

      Edit to add: the first definition came from the “AI overview” section
