If you pop a cube and you can't find the piece, well, that'd be really funny. You could continue searching for the piece, but if you stop the timer and the cube is not solved, it would be a DNF.
If you really wanted to search the room for the piece, I guess that's fine. Other people can't help you find the piece because it would be part of the solve and there is no assistance during the solve. The way I see it, unless not completing that solve takes away your ability to record a valid average, then I think it would be rather inconsiderate to take up a timer for five minutes trying to record a time which won't affect you.
