This is not a bug. The search URLs are used to search documents on the
web and _not_ to import them into the database. If you click on any item
in your bib file (right-click; search online) you'll find CiteSeer as a
search option.

Importing stuff into the database from online ressources is more
complicated than simply adding a URL. You need to take into account what
format the required information is provided in.

The only way to add CiteSeer to the list of online databases is to hack
the sources itself, or help upstream doing it ;-)

Cheers,

Michael
