Kagi Search Result Calculators

Praxis-Orion

The problem

When a query is a unit conversion "fahrenheit to celsius calculator", "F to C", "50 miles to km", "200 USD to EUR" Kagi returns a single static answer at the top (-17.22 °C) and then pushes the user to third-party conversion sites like metric-conversions.org.

Those sites are ad-heavy and slow, destinations I'm trying to avoid.

The proposal

An interactive conversion widget at the top of the results page, similar to what Google shows for the same query:

Two input fields: value + unit on each side
Unit dropdowns for each side
Live recalculation as the user types
Category recognized from the query and units pre-populated
Categories: temperature, length, weight, volume, speed, currency, data size, time zones
Replaces a one-shot answer with something that handles the natural follow-up ("okay, now what's 72°F?") without a new search

Example flow

User searches "fahrenheit to celsius calculator"
Kagi shows a widget: 1 | Fahrenheit on the left, -17.22 | Celsius on the right
User types 72 into the left field → right field updates to 22.22 instantly
User changes the left dropdown to Kelvin → recalculates
No page reload, no new search

Reference implementations

Google — compact card with value/unit pairs and a category selector, shown above organic results
DuckDuckGo — similar instant-answer converter

Your suggestion would certainly make some of Kagi's widget output more convenient to use. (Specifically the "Summary Box" widget.)

In case you didn't know, Kagi has a slightly different take on the (conversion) calculator. Kagi calc parses an entire expression instead of breaking everything into fields/units. You can modify previous calculations by pressing the UP key for a history of calculations.

calc — Opens a widget that can perform math calculations, unit conversions, and currency conversions, for example: calc. The widget opens automatically when you search for a calculation, like (45 * 2) / (5 + 10).

Note: Kagi has multiple widgets that handle math/conversions, so you must disable the "Summary Box" from https://kagi.com/settings/more_search, which takes precedence.
