It was removed, because Google does not like being on the receiving end of what they do with everyone else (that is, scraping their website), even in our very limited way. After a few uses, they just blocks you out. And their recovery methods IME are extremely asinine. This was mentioned in the release notes. What you can do is follow the Download BibTeX link at the bottom of the reference you need (you may have to click >> to see it). Than you can import. Christiaan
