"2700 seconds" returns a completely different answer to "2700seconds"

2.7 million isn't exactly completely wrong, but I agree that it is not the information a user would be after. It is curious how wolframalpha.com interprets the query correctly but Kagi Knowledge gives the answer in ms.

2700seconds is also incorrectly interpreted in the second example you posted as 11m 40s is equal to 700 seconds, meaning that the first digit of the query is being dropped for some reason.

Yeah I wrote this a bit too quick, I guess I expected 2700seconds and 2700 seconds to give the same result 😅 (a timer / time conversion, but I didn't notice the 2nd was wrong)

seems like kagi truncate queries like {digits}seconds to just three digits. searching 123456789seconds gives 13min, 09secs, which is 789 seconds. 700 seconds=11min 40sec too.
