Google’s AI Overviews break the dictionary when you use words like ‘disregard’

Google’s AI Overviews are misfiring on dictionary-style searches for words like “disregard,” “ignore,” and “dismiss,” according to a report.

Instead of showing a standard definition box or featured snippet, Google Search may return AI-like prompt responses.

Adding the word “definition” does not always restore normal results.

The bug highlights another failure mode in Google’s AI-powered search summaries, especially for simple lookup queries.
