How to add calculator to GNOME search?

Submitted ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨juli@programming.dev⁩ to ⁨linux@programming.dev⁩

GNOME search can’t calculate stuff. krunner on KDE is increadibly powerful. Is there anything I can do to make GNOME’s search a bit more like krunner? at least do basic math …

Gnome has search providers and if you have Gnome Calculator installed searching any calculation will provide an answer next to gnome calculator in the result.

  I’ve got it installed. Maybe a flatpak issue?

    probably, why didn’t you install it through the package manager?

  You can’t do this on windows though, instead you send a bunch of data back and forth to Bing so they can monitor you and make sure you’re being a good consumer when you ask what 5+6 is.
