Chrome here, with the same issue.

I guess, we're flooding the maths-render servers.

lol, I think you're overestimating HN traffic just a bit here.

Adding a hash solves the double enter https://www.google.com/?#q=x*sin(y)

Anyone else feeling left out? I poked the link on my phone and just got search results (safari). Same thing in mobile chrome even after "request the desktop site". It wasn't until I got to work and saw all of the comments that I figured out what was going on.

Same here, Chrome/Ipad :|

Axis labels? Anybody?

There are labels in the legend associated with axis colors.

So the equation should read red*sin(green)?

The colours are already used for amplitude of the function, using them twice is confusing, akin to using the same variable for two different things.

If you're on android chrome, try switching to desktop mode and then press enter if it still doesn't show up. Worked for me.

While this is nice, I don't like the idea of one company being the one-stop-shop for all of our knowledge.

Our civilization is doomed. Society will fall apart because Google decided to do 3d plots in their search engine.

Next thing you know, someone will be asking how to do it with JQuery.

Not JS, JQuery

I think it is okay for Google to send you that one answer so that you no longer need to do anymore searching. They scour the web and extract the simple answers that you require. (Google Customer Service: Did you find what you were looking for?) YES!

There are other websites that do this as well, and do it better, but they should be leaping to more complicated stuff once they have "plucked the low hanging fruits" for the establishment of their services.

This is the kind of democratization of knowledge and resource that the open web is all about.

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.)

I believe Google will answer "baby steps."

Until then, go and google up that elsewhere.
