Custom bookmarks for WoS searches are broken in the release; they're fixed for 
the next nightly build.

For a specific WoS author search in BibDesk, you need to enter "AU=(some 
author)" in the field, I believe; it's documented on ISI's site.  I'd like to 
provide interface for that, but haven't had time.  At present it defaults to 
TS="whatever you type", which is a topic search.

You need to hit the "Search" button to get the remaining results.  This 
requires the latest nightly build, since that also is broken in the released 
version, but I get 180 results here.
