Last month, Google removed search filters for visited page. Now it's time for a new advanced search feature to be removed: reading level. This feature was introduced back in 2010 to let you find search results that are better suited for you. "Sometimes you may want to limit your search results to a specific reading level. For instance, a junior high school teacher looking for content for her students or a second-language learner might want web pages written at a basic reading level. A scientist searching for the latest findings from the experts may want to limit results to those at advanced reading levels," explained Google.
Reading level is no longer available in the search tools dropdown or in the advanced search page. Verbatim is the only filtering option you can still use and I'm sure it will be removed soon. Hopefully, Google won't remove time filters, which are more popular and easier to understand.
Here's a screenshot from last month:
