This is low-key so useless. From the headline I expected some deeper kind of integration, indexing, ability to find old dead pages with useful info more easily.

Nope.

They just throw a generic link in a place hidden so deep that nobody will ever see it. You first need to click the three dots, then find the "More about this page" in the middle, and there it is. I don't know why they bothered announcing it at all, it's so hidden and useless they might as well have not bothered at all. Just copy-paste the website link into the IA search and the end result will be the same but faster.

Sounds straightforward enough to me.

Nobody ever clicks that among all the useless junk around it. It should be right there after clicking the three dots already, which already shows basic details about the page. It's not a submenu dropdown anymore like it used to be. Nobody's ever gonna even look below the first paragraph where the main buttons are.

If they wanted to make this any useful at all, if it's so hidden already, they should have made it index the particular archived page revisions list, and display direct links to them along with the date they were taken. Just linking to IA search in the generic way is not gonna help anyone, especially that the page might then turn out to not be archived at all to begin with too.
