Also seems like it could be much smaller, since it's following this increasing trend to devote less and less screen real-estate to search results.
- TeMPOraL 14y agoMy guess is 9/11 was if-ed out; if someone types that into a query, one most likely wants to see results related to WTC attack.
- rabidsnail 14y agoThey could have generalized that based on result CTR.
- pokoleo 14y agoNot sure what a result CTR is - can you explain (click through rate?)
- rabidsnail 14y agoYes, click-through rate. If an unusually large percentage of users click on a result instead of engaging with the calculator then the calculator probably shouldn't be there.
- djtriptych 14y agoYou can force a calculator result with an equals sign: http://www.google.com/search?q=9/11= http://www.google.com/search?q=9/11=
- gburt 14y agoThis is Google trying to outsmart you. It thinks you're searching for Sept. 11 if you type 9/11. It happens quite regularly with other queries, add a = sign to force the calculator.
