How to add calculations to the gnome search bar?

I was using Gnome on PureOS for a month or so, but now I'm back on Ubuntu 18.04. The thing I loved in PureOS is that I could do calculations in the Gnome search bar. But when I type any calculations (1+2) in the gnome search bar I see no results (it says "No results" in Dutch):
I tried this gnome extension and it's enabled in Gnome tweak tool as you can see below, but I see no results (I rebooted to be sure).
Does anybody know how I can activate calculations in the Gnome search bar?

Looks like the extension is abandoned and incompatible with your recent GNOME Shell version. Bug reports are off topic here but you can try to contact its author to file a bug report.

It works for me in Ubuntu 17.10 (and Wayland) with double parentheses, which is used also on the command line
$ echo "$((1+2))"
3
So try
((1+2))
See this screenshot,
After an update & upgrade it works without parentheses and with single parentheses too,
1+2
(1+2)

Hmmm, this doesn't work either. Alright, I'll just wait until 18.04 is officially released and see whether it works then. Thanks for your effort anyway!

Remove the snap application by running
snap remove gnome-calculator

You may need to to restart GNOME shell by hitting Alt+F2, then typing r and pressing Enter for it to take effect.

I checked out the github page of the extension I was trying to use, which says:
This extension is now obsolete as the gnome calculator provides this functionality since g-s 3.14
So I installed Gnome Calculator using the Software center and now it works like a charm.
