Yes, it appears to be broken.  You can download the WSDL, so the server is 
still alive.

There's apparently a newer version of their WS interface, but I don't have time 
to investigate it right now:

http://search.isiknowledge.com/esti/cxf-wsclient-demo/docs/soap/index.html

It uses separate authentication and searching, from what I can tell at a quick 
glance, even for IP-based auth.  Maybe they've changed auth for the old 
service, too.

I used Scopus several years ago, and adapted BibDesk's RIS parser to deal with 
their bastardized RIS.  That should still work, but I no longer have access to 
Scopus.

If you're asking about a search group for it in BibDesk, that would require a 
suitable API from Scopus, and someone with access to write the code and test 
it.  A web group might be more appropriate, but the same access caveat applies.
