Every Google &udm=? in the world

Appends udm=14 to the Google search URL to instruct Google to only return the Web results. There is even an extension and website built specifically for this use case. This is suitable for user who would like to have a clean search results without the clutter from Knowledge Graph, Local Results, Related Questions and etc. Now, there are others udm=x than just 14. I have been doing some searching and compile all of them here.

In fact, you most probably have been using some of the common udm. For example, udm=2 is Images.

udm=2

Or udm=12 which shows all the relevant news results.

udm=12

An example for not so common udm is udm=15 which shows Attractions results.

udm=15

And udm=18 which shows Forums results.

udm=18

udm could be a useful capability in Google search, thus I have compile a intuitive list of country and their udm.

Please note that the list is very long, it is impossible to test all of them with all the countries. Only use this as an exploration guide.
