Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Pre-AI Search after getting frustrated with how AI content farms have taken over Google results. As a developer, I was spending more time filtering through AI-generated noise than finding actual solutions.
What it does:
- Adds a simple toggle to filter Google results to pre-2023
- Helps find authentic content before AI farms took over
- Works instantly with one click
- No ads, no tracking, just filtering
It started as a personal tool but after sharing on Reddit, seems like many others needed this too. Would love your feedback on what would make it more useful!
P.S. If you're trying to do research, debug code, or find authentic content, just toggle it on and get back to actually useful search results.

Who hunted Pre-AI Search?
Pre-AI Search was hunted by Oli Evans. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
