Calculator and conversion widgets
Instant calculator, unit, and currency widgets on web search when a query looks like a calculation or conversion.
When Search widgets is enabled, Uruky inspects the whole search query with patterns (not an LLM) and, if it matches, shows a widget above the first web result.
What appears
- Calculator: Simple arithmetic with +, -, *, /, and parentheses. Square roots, powers, and percentages are not supported.
- Unit conversion: Popular metric and imperial units for length, mass, temperature, volume, and speed.
- Currency conversion: Conversion between EUR, USD, GBP, JPY, CNY, CHF, CAD, AUD, INR, and BRL using daily ECB euro reference rates. Rates are fetched independently of your query.
Matching
The query has to be the calculation or conversion, not a question about one. Examples:
2+2
(1+2)*3
10 km to miles
10cm in inches
32 f to c
100 usd to eur
Queries that are only a number, mixed prose, or later result pages do not show a widget. Image search is unchanged.
Changing values
With JavaScript enabled, editing the widget updates the result immediately. Without JavaScript, change the search query and submit again.
Currency rates
Rates come from the ECB eurofxref daily file, cached on the server. They are not requested using your search text. ECB publishes on working days, so weekend and overnight values are the previous working day's rates.
How to enable
Go to Settings → Interface Defaults, find Search widgets, and set it to Yes. The preference is included when you export settings.
