@benjojo It didn't understand `us` for microseconds and the next best thing was `s`.

@benjojo probably AI powered now

@benjojo SEO for big seconds.

@benjojo I had one where it correctly interpreted fm as femtometers but then did the conversion backwards.

@benjojo they decided it was more important to shove all their resources into censorship and promoting lies than things that actually benefit normal people

@benjojo you're doing it wrong. "us" is not microseconds. that is being misinterpreted as a typo for seconds. try it with a mu character.

it's also conversion "to" not conversion "as"

1000 μs to milliseconds gives the correct answer. or just write out microseconds

@benjojo Perhaps it interpreteted the "u" as "unsigned"?

@benjojo Sometime in the past few years it feels like Google replaced their probably-out-of-control bundle of parsers and state machines for "smart" queries like this and swapped in something a bit more like an ML classifier stack. It is objectively worse for most things in my experience, but I bet it requires fewer engineers to maintain (as if search was not a fountain of cash for them lol). Maybe the AI classified "u" as a typo and big-brained its way to failure 🙂
