Even better than prettier screenshots for Google’s flight calculator, currency conversions, and local time lookups, is an UI that makes the most important information easier and quicker to find.
If you see a more pleasant and visually appealing interface when you Google search for flight information on your phone or tablet, don’t be surprised. The company has announced a visual refresh to searches for common bits of information on mobile today.
The list of items that will get the new look include finance, currency conversion, unit conversion, dictionary definitions, local time lookup, and holiday and sunrise time results, as well as flights.
