In August, Google launched a stopwatch like feature where you can search for [set timer for X] and Google would launch a stopwatch timer.

This feature has stopped working.

Google's Stopwatch Stops Ticking

Google has not responded to the complaint in the Google Web Search Help forum yet, so Ia m not sure if this is a bug or something Google removed on purpose.

Forum discussion at Google Web Search Help.
