OK, yes, sorry, what I meant was: the records represented on the table view, which must be well-formed BibTeX records to be loaded up there. > > >> I notice that it takes a really long time (30 secs or so at least) to >> load up the second page; the reload arrow to the right of the url >> field is an "X" for a while.

Off list I will send you a screen shot. You'll see that the web page showing in the upper pane does not match the table in the bottom pane. Maybe this is in response to bad references, the bug you refer to in later in the thread. Quitting BD and restarting doesn't have any effect on this. I do see the spinner in the table, as well. >> Another suggestion: Can there be web groups in the same way that >> there >> are Z30.50 search groups?

(2) Copy URL into field in BD, get the page loaded up, and watch the references table become populated with bib records. (3) Navigate to successive pages and get more references. Suggested change in interface, guts, and process: (1*) Open a google scholar search field in BD and enter the search keys. (2*) BD sends the search to google scholar, and loads the URL in the URL field (In lieu of (2) above. (3*) As (3) above. Suggested model for UI: the url and search fields on safari. A small search field next to a longer url field. The search key is entered into the search field and the url loads up in response. A drop-down in the search field allows someone to choose which of the available web searches is to be conducted (google scholar and whatever the other two are, that I forget). ================================= Adam M.
