Thank goodness you didn't have to deal with Internet Explorer and older versions of Google/Chrome (you had to sift through the different query pages sometimes....).
The same problem occurs when you search for “population in world graph” and “population in world”. As I remember a while ago it used to show a graph for both searches
When dealing with data, a comma is often the main way of separating entities or words. If your currency was using any other punctuation aside from a comma, it would probably work. It's just unfortunate that the same punctuation is used for multiple common practices, which makes it harder to determine what the "correct" result should be.
Google's AI is garbage. It is completely ruining search results, and is generally kind of useless to anybody. The worst part is, as a small business owner, it isn't providing customers with accurate results, and isn't providing businesses with connections to those customers. What people are getting instead is that stupid AI summary and a bunch of unrelated or non-local advertisements. It's become garbage, and it's been becoming garbage for a long time. Most of the changes they've made these last few years has done very little to make the user experience of any value.
Sadly, there really isn't an alternative. All of the other search engines just as useless.
Search results are filled with AI crap, garbage AI written articles, and so many AI bots on social networks that Google, YouTube, Facebook, Meta, and the internet in general has become a wasteland of trash.
Yes Google will die once Chrome is sold off so they're just letting it rot.
It's over... Their criminal enterprise is being broken up.
Once there isn't a totally evil scamtech company pulling a giant constrictor snake move around the entire internet, a competitor will stomp out their totally pathetic products for sure.
Things are going to have to change because the cat is out of the bag that Google and Meta are ultra aggressive because they're trying to monopolize the click fraud business. Obviously, there should be a regulation that prevents them from making money from fraud, but there's not. Them using the "criminal element to increase their profits" seems criminal in nature to me, but apparently it's totally legal.
I interpreted that as your searching for €85946 in GBP, remove the comma it works, if it was meant to be €859 and 46 cents then Google wants a . To distinguish this
I checked and it worked using a . Or by removing the comma, you also don't need to type the word convert either so that saves you some time.
I noticed but sadly this isn't how search engines seem to work likely due to being an American company, I simply pointed out how it does work so moving forward they can use the tool.
Makes no difference to me how a search engine displays it, what matters is does it works when I need it to.

Dunno why sometimes it does the conversion while sometimes it doesn’t
