First off, thank you mainteners and contributors for spending time on JabRef. It's a really useful piece of software and I appreciate it.

I recently used JabRef's web search function against Google Scholar to find some references. I sucessfully imported 2-3, however soon afterward the tool stopped working. I then manually searched Google Scholar, only to be issued with a HTTP 403, and some reference to Google's terms of service:

As there was no warning that this might happen, I consider it a bug. May I suggest that this tool come with a warning or be disabled by default?
