Thanks. The bibtex file is generated by JabRef and is MacRoman. It tunes out that search will find the entries, but the menu shows only those that have an URL.

Also, sometimes accented or extended (8-bit) characters cause the bib parser from LyX to stop parsing past the "broken" entry. Thus it would only show the first few parsed entries. Bear in mind that LyX shows the entries sorted alphabetically by BiBTeX key and NOT in the order that they appear in the bib file. It may be difficult to find exactly which entry is problematic if that is the case. I do know that some of my bib files had a similar issue because I had typed names or other fields in french with accents that were OK under the Windows encoding I was using, but above the 7-bit standard ASCII supported by BiBTeX. Also, what is the entry type for your non-URL-containing entries ? Maybe your bib file is non-standard or mangled ? Did you validate it was OK with a tools such as JabRef (http://jabref.sourceforge.net<http://jabref.sourceforge.net/>) ? Very often, bib files that are generated online by bibliography databases are non-standard or broken, as the support for RIS and Endnote is usually their main concern.
