Single number in calculator takes precedence over apps when searching

Bug Reports

When you have an app installed whose name starts with a number, searching for it copies a number from the calculator feature instead of opening the app.

For example, here in Brazil we have a really popular ride hailing app called 99, and every time I search for it I can't open it via search button as that will copy the number 99 from the calculator.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have an app installed with a name that starts with a number

  2. Search for it

  3. Press the search button (that should open the first app in the results)

  4. A number will be copied from the calculator instead of opening the app

    Thanks for the clear reproduction steps, the 99 example makes it obvious. In the meantime you can reach the app by tapping its row in the results instead of pressing the search key, which is what hands the query to the calculator.

    Background on the calculator in search is here: Integrated calculator. Your post is the clearest description of the conflict we have, so it is a good place for others to upvote.
