Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.81 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Type ln(0) into Omnibox and get result What is the expected behavior? ln(0) is undefined, and approaches negative infinity. What went wrong? ln(0) returns 1, which is very unexpected and should not occur. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 69.0.3497.81 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: I noticed that in a Google search, this does not pull up the calculator, but rather pulls a "snippet" from Quora. I feel like some natural language processing is taking place, but is definitely getting the wrong idea from it.

This is a problem with Google Search, not with Chrome.

Able to reproduce the issue on Mac 10.13.3, Win-10 and Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome reported version #69.0.3497.81 and latest canary #71.0.3549.0. This is a non-regression issue as it is observed from M60 old builds. Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team. Thanks...!!

Interesting, this is actually a normal search suggestion, not a calculator answer like "1+1" is. That doesn't make ln(0)==1 any more correct of course :) Thanks for the report! I'll report to the search quality team internally, but Chrome is fetching and displaying results correctly, so closing the client bug here. |
