Hey, you never know when thats' gonna change.

I've passed this on to the appropriate team. I don't think that exchange rate will change any time soon, but who knows :-).

Wow, they were fast John
not the same result anymore.

If you click the link it's still there.

Interestingly if I go to .com I get the exchange rate CAD – USD and if I go to .co.uk I get CAD-GBP. It doesn't seem to work with any other currency.

I still see it here in the states when I change to Google.ca and type in "canadian dollar".

Probably takes a bit of time to roll this out to all of the data centers...

Oh it works with just "dollar" when searching on Google.ca.

Update:
Found a flaw with british pound too when searching for GBP.

Japanese Yen "jpy" in Google Japan.

Bad: If you search on google.ch for GPB it converts from British Pounds to the €uro instead of CHF which would be the currency of Switzerland.

Only if you enter CHF right behind the other currency you get what is usefull.

I m sure the above 15 billion market company such as Google had to do heavy investments to come up with this genuinely simplistic equation ;)

The perfect SERP (search engine result) ... Highly relevant, there's no doubt about that ....

I think it's just hardcoded such that although it converts to the "home currency," it ignores US Dollar because...hey, you're in the US, right? For example: google.ca or google.co.uk produce no conversion when you type in US Dollar. Shouldn't it convert to GBP or CAD when you do that?

I guess the coin has finally reached parity with the note.

It wasn't doing that earlier with GBP... maybe it's a feature they're rolling out across currencies (I mean converting depending on which site your on, not converting to the same currency :P)

Mrrix32, I'm still seeing all of the ones I saw hours ago:

It depends on the localised version, it's quite neat feature that if I enter US Dollar into Google.co.uk it tells me the conversion, although this is obviously a bug if I enter sterling into UK and it tries converting it.
