Google says it knows the best answer to your question.
Now it won’t even show you alternative answers to some basic questions that can be answered with its built-in apps for its clock, calculator and currency converter. Questions like “What time is it in Tokyo?” will now only generate a Google answer for mobile devices.
The change could have an impact on businesses that optimize their websites to appear in Google search results—and some websites may see a drop in traffic from the move. However, these answers have already been available in Google searches, so the change might not be severe.
