Google seems to have dropped their "time in" operator. Where if you search for "time in [location]" they would have returned the current time in that location.

Hence, they are requiring you to buy a watch to tell the time...

I hope it is temporary.

Dude...where's my punchline? Interesting though. I hope the feature returns soon. It's convenient.

Looks like they dropped some of the other auto-answered queries as well... the populations ones don't appear to be working for me either:

The conversions (calculator) ones are though:
