Time's up for Google Search's built-in timer

All the way back in 2013, Google introduced a nifty little feature in its search engine tool that had nothing to do with search at all: a timer. All users had to do was search for anything like "14 minute timer" or "timer until 2pm" and Google would generate a widget and begin the countdown automatically. People were already spending loads of time on Google at that point, it might have well made sense to let people keep track of it there. Well, now that timer seems to have run out of time, at least on desktop.
