When I first found out about using the google search as a calculator I was very impressed. I experimented with different units such as “one and a half parallax seconds a year in angstroms per second“. I was, however, immediately disappointed when I tried to use currencies in my calculations and they wouldn’t work.

But now Google have added a currency converter to their search so you can do things like “50 pounds a mile in €/km“.

Now you can price some flooring you’re looking at in the north like this “12 british pounds per square foot * nine square meters in euros“.
