Google Gets Scientific, Adds A Voice-Enabled 34-Button Calculator To Desktop And Mobile Search

Google search has long featured a built-in calculator function but a recent update added a fully functional 34-button scientific calculator. Previously, when a user entered, say, 2+2, Google would simply display the sum above the search result. Now, when that equation is entered into the search bar, the answer pops up along with the new calculator. Best of all, this works in mobile browsers and voice search, too.

I guess that's the point. I don't turn to Google for a calculator when I'm on my desktop or laptop - they already have a native calculator. And when it comes to online scientific calculators, Wolfram Alpha is a major monster these days.
