Ai overview is painfully inaccurate and I am hoping to find a way to disable it on my google searches, if that is not possible, what search engine would you recommend?

If you wish to try browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/add-google-quot-web-quot-search-as-search-engine-option/idc-p/58107/highlight/true#M33902
I've tried a lot of recommended solutions but without success...:( I also would like to know asap how to disable AI in browsers. In most of the cases it's completely misleading and unreliable in scientific (and other) questions because it is only based on internet data, and not on real knowledge and research which could be found in many cases only in books, or during deep and real research work in libraries. The constant and aggressive appearance of shallow AI "solutions" and "answers" (i.e. lies) is very disturbing and a horrible obstacle during scientific work.
Hi toth, there isn't a universal solution to blocking all AI-generated "content" on the web. You can find add-ons and workarounds posted for particular sites.
Meanwhile, you can at least turn off Firefox's built-in option to use an AI chatbot in the sidebar if you have no interest in using it. See: Access AI chatbots in Firefox.
Duckduckgo has an option to turn off the AI in web searches. I would think Firefox had developed the same option but I haven't found it yet.

The search engine URL for DuckDuckGo that is included in Firefox is one that was arranged between the two companies long ago, before there were any AI summaries in search results. There aren't any built-in settings in Firefox to modify those. But you may be able to use a setting on the DDG website, which is saved in a cookie so that future searches don't contain unwanted content. Or you can create a custom search engine of your own (if you need help with that, please start a new thread specific to DDG).

I actually started using startpage and that works quite well!
Thank you for reporting back!
