Moreover, you can not only convert one currency to another, but also look at the chart of rate fluctuations – in some scenarios, this is a rather important tool. In this case, the converter does not need to be downloaded as a separate application – it appears directly as a result of the search, you just need to enter the corresponding query in the Yandex search engine.

The developers of the search engine have even trained their algorithms in special phrases and slang so that the system recognizes rare specific formulations of the user, for example, if he enters a number not in numbers, but in words or special sentences. The specialists said that the search engine recognizes “milen” and “one hundred and twenty dongs.” Accordingly, at the moment Yandex is able to convert 147 world currencies. And not only in rubles and vice versa, but also in monetary units of other states – for this, the search engine uses the current information of the Central Bank.
