It's not just you - it's always Year Zero [1] on Google SRPs now. When you're looking for information on a topic or historical event, you're not going to easily find classical sources, contemporary primary sources, bloggers - it's always content from the last two years from what Google considers authoritative / trusted sources. Searching has become a skill again; you have to use your existing knowledge to drill down to associated terms and also search books, archives, social media, and so on, up to asking literal people.
