Google search engine is the most popular tool on the web, used by hundreds of millions as a start point to access to internet. It is so integrated in our lives that many of us use it to access to a web page even if we use it daily (for example I usually google “Bloomberg” to access its web site instead of typing it on the browser’s address bar). And of course many of us say “googled” instead of “searched”.
But Google’s search engine is much more than a search engine! It has many cool features not known and used by many people. For example, it can perform currency conversion and mathematical calculations!
Just search 100 USD IN EUR and you will see the conversion as in the below image.

Actually, Google's search engines built-in unit conversion functionality is not limited with currency conversion. It can convert between many units. For example below is the result of searching 30000 feet in meters. Of for example if you search kg in pound you will get the following result : 1 pounds = 0.45359237 kilograms.
