Pity it can't subtract time.

> 16:28 - 14:50 = 22 hours and 22 minutes

although, Google never could not too.

In WolframAlpha (no Kago subscription, but I assume it works just the same), to achieve your desired result, you merely have to use:

> 14:50 - 16:28

Or

> 14:50 to 16:28

It makes sense when you think of it.

I’ve been using this for years, and it works wonders for datetimes too.

This is the amount of time between 16:28 today and 14:50 tomorrow. You got a correct answer. Just not the answer you were thinking of.

To me it seems to compute number of hours in the interval between those times.

I don't use kagi. On WA, this search results in the answer with a prompt with the engine's assumptions, and includes a link to change the assumption to "math" from "word."

These prompts don't show on kagi? Seems like including them would be an avenue for improvement.

Yes, one vexing thing is the inability of search engines to convert time. 5209s to hours and minutes? Oh, I still need to tell you how to do in steps. Why is this so?

Kagi just resolved “5209 s in h” quite perfectly.

I'm getting the correct result: "= 1 hour and 38 minutes"
