Built-in calculator to GNOME search window
Using Ubuntu 18.04.
On prior versions of Ubuntu GNOME, I could type basic expressions into the gnome search bar and get the answer. Ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 however, I cannot; it shows no results.
I've already found this answer but GNOME Calculator is already installed on my machine and still no luck. Any ideas?

The pre-installed GNOME Calculator in Ubuntu 18.04 is a snap application which may lack some features provided by the traditional one due to restrictions of snap packages.
Remove the snap application by running
snap remove gnome-calculator
and install the traditional apt one by running
sudo apt install gnome-calculator
You may need to to restart GNOME shell by hitting Alt+F2, then typing r and pressing Enter for it to take effect.
