If you search for arnold schwarzenegger, there are results about him, but there is no infobox. So it seems he is gone from the "clever parts" of search, but not from normal results. Amusingly, one time I searched for arnold scharzenegger I got an infobox about his son Patrick Arnold Shriver Schwarzenegger, but this was once-only thing, I did save a screenshot to prove it though.

I get the same thing. I think that's the issue, Google is confusing the two. If you click the arrow on the infobox next to 'Movies and TV shows' it searches with the keywords 'patrick schwarzenegger movies and tv shows' but if you change it to 'arnold schwarzenegger movies and tv shows' you still get movies and TV shows for Patrick.

I think it's because Patrick Schwarzenegger has been in some stuff recently. Google Search tries to predicatively rank content based on recent popularity but just screws it up most of the time. I run into this same issue frequently with Google Search now which is one of the many reasons why I switched to DDG as my primary search engine. Google search results have just become unusably poor.

still shows up when you google "governator"

Also if you search for "governors of california" which surprised me, since he's invisible just about everywhere else.
