I'm horrible at finding literature

This week I had a meeting with my supervisor for my master's thesis. One of the main points of feedback was that my literature review had to be more extensive and that I had to add way more papers. My supervisor was kind enough put ten minutes into searching literature together and found several relevant papers with no issue at all. Meanwhile, at home I'm using the same keywords at scholar and all I get are shitty papers. This kinda panicked me.

Apart from this I'm horrible in general at finding good & relevant literature. I just read some other theses and I'm amazed by the fact how smooth literature reviews can be (though I sometimes look up the paper to which was refered and I can't find the statement which was made at all). Right now I feel like a major failure who doesn't deserve his master's degree but I'm trying to keep myself calm. I was wondering if someone has some good advices regarding finding literature or maybe even know some good reads about finding literature (oh the irony).

Here's what works for me. Try to find a recent review paper of the topic you're interested in. Not only are these papers good for giving you an overview of the subject, you will have a list of references they used, which you can then look into yourself.
