Can Google Calculator convert a length in (centi)meter to feet+inches in one go?

I'm a European metric person, but sometimes interacting with Americans and then I may want to convert from metric to US customary units. I noticed that when I type

268 cm in feet

in my Firefox Google bar, it gives me a search suggestion

8.79265092 feet (8 feet 9 33/64 inches)

When I search in Google Calculator, however, it just tells me that

268 cm equals 8.79265.

If I then want to know how many feet, I need to search

268 cm - 8 feet in inch.

To convert from feet+inch to cm I can simply type

8 feet + 4 inch in cm

but can I somehow convert from (centi)meter to feet+inch in a single query?
