syafiq - I don't think there is any clean way to achieve this.  However, you can use JS hack. 

 

By clicking on search button.

 

1. Get the current timestamp (TimeStamp A)

2. Get the timestamp (TimeStamp B) once the result div is being updated. 

3. Subtract the times TimeStamp A from TimeStamp B. 

 

This will give you the time taken by a query. This won't be fully accurate, but you only can go that much closer using JS.
