Google launched a neat fun search feature, a timer or stop watch feature back in August. About a week ago, the Google timer stopped ticking.
Yesterday, Google acknowledged the issue and said it is a bug and they are working on fixing it. I originally thought maybe it was something Google decided to kill off, but no, it is something they do indeed want to keep.

Thanks for taking the time to submit the report and share feedback.The team is aware of the issue and is hard at work on a fix. The timer feature will return soon!
How soon? No one knows. For now, you'll be late for all your meetings.

They're just trying to get people to buy AdWords. (Oops, I must have hit the wrong macro key.)

I guess I missed the purpose of the timer? What is the timer supposed to do?

I use it when brewing coffee with a french press. Create a shortcut to the four minute Google timer and it's literally one click. Very handy. Thought it was gone for good. Glad it'll be back.
