Alongside this, I have found that Google Scholar's search has become noticeably worse in the last year or so. I can search for an author's name and a few keywords from a paper title and it won't show up, even if the paper has like 5000 citations.

Wow so I am not going mad! I had the same experience and it almost feels like Google is trying to recommend me papers based on my past searches. I hope they revert to their earlier algorithm
