That’s been there for decades. We were taught to use it in middle school. There used to be a fairly prominent link to the advanced search page from the main Google homepage.
For a while, regular google searches were good enough to find everything you needed, so the skill became less common/important. My guess is that public knowledge of it has just atrophied over time.
