It could just be the fast sequence of requests for the BibTeX entries that triggers it. In which case it might make sense to change the scraper to only request the pages with the BibTeX upon request. That is, when the user clicks on items in the second pane.

I've also seen that. It seems they block you when you're doing too many searches under some conditions. I wonder what those conditions are, so we could correct it. Perhaps they require some kind of HTTP headers, like originating application info?

However after trying a few successful queries (maybe 6-8 overall) Google now seems to have blocked me. I get this now:
We're sorry...

... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.



And answering the captcha below it doesn't help.
I guess Google does not like being scraped?
