You're right. The rationale was that the title can be found in papers that
cite the one to match, while the abstract would only be as such in the paper
to match... But all that was meaningful only if assuming that 'mdfind' can
glob text, which turns out to be false.
'DOI' numbers would be more reliable for the search if all papers would
include their 'doi' number. Many recent ones do, but oldish ones lack this
number.
Having said so, it's not that bad ;-) it's actually better than doing it
manually.
and possibly some false negatives (entries not getting files that match

Yep!

Can I use <ibdeno> like in my e-mail address?
