20 years of Google Scholar

21. Google Scholar will deny access to you if you (need to) self-host a VPN on a common VPS provider. Being a Google product, it also can’t be special-cased in your routing table. (I genuinely had to retrain myself to use Google Scholar again once I no longer had that need.)

22. Switching on sort by date will impose a filter to papers published within the year, and you cannot do anything about that.

!!! And here I thought it's been broken for years, and a sign of decay due to lack of internal support.

I swear this was working for me until literally today, it was really useful to find older ML papers?!

There is filter by date and sort by date. The former works. The latter, when enabled, even adds a banner on top of the page (in large but gray type) that says “Articles added in the last year, sorted by date”, and resets any filter you might have set before.
