Very nice. Why have you posted it?

Probably to show us that it's possible. I didn't know Google Search accepted equations.

Note that the search is not even an "equation" (that would be z = x*sin(y) ).

Google always graphed equations -- I often use a google tab like a nice low-memory-footprint version of MATLAB basically -- but I didn't know it assumed the third axis when you created a non-linear expression and made it an equation.

I like the axes. Those are usually really badly visualized in most 3D plotting software. Just indicate the origin a bit better and we're gold.

Google has done math in the search for a while. It is also my go to place for unit conversions.

But has it always done 3D? I was completely unaware!

If any Googler is around, it would be nice if one could do 4d representations as well. (As in 3d that evolves in time, with a slider to go back and forth in time.)
