Gnome has search providers and if you have Gnome Calculator installed searching any calculation will provide an answer next to gnome calculator in the result.

I've got it installed. Maybe a flatpak issue?

You can't do this on windows though, instead you send a bunch of data back and forth to Bing so they can monitor you and make sure you're being a good consumer when you ask what 5+6 is.
