Spotlight Currency conversion issue After upgrading to Big Sur, Spotlight currency converter looks different. After entering foreign currency, I only see conversion to my system currency. When entering my system currency, I can only see conversion to USD via Yahoo. There are no more multiple currencies displayed anymore, as it used to be in previous OS versions. Even tried to enter in format "100USD to EUR" which is ignored completely and only offers results from web. This is a huge step backwards, I'm very disappointed... This is how it worked in previous OS versions (taken from web): This is how it looks in Big Sur: Very, very, very disappointing...

Big Sur Spotlight Currency Conversion A change to the behaviour in Spotlight in Big Sur is really disappointing and senseless. Previously, when I entered "100usd" it then displayed the conversion into my local currency, ZAR. Now, entering the phrase gives me a conversion in GBP, something I do not want. Clicking on the little arrow at the end of the entry gives 4 more conversions, but none in ZAR. To obtain the wanted conversion I need to enter "100usd to zar" - for someone like me who uses this feature multiple times every day this is seriously a step backward and I can't see who the change benefits. I don't think there is any way to change the behaviour which is disappointing.

sinus in spotlight calculator Hi, when I enter "sin(20)" in spotlight, I get a result of 0.913. But the sinus of 20° is 0.342. Is my syntax wrong? This is in 10.15 Catalina. The screenshot shows a , instead of a . because my locale is set to Germany. best, Gebhard
