I tried to search for "Pain" in all search engines in JabRef, 
and CiteSeerX and INSPIRE seem to be the only ones still working; the
rest other throws errors (mostly about broken URIs from what I could
see) or just returned nothing.

Looks like quite a few of the hardcoded URLs have become stale or the
services are down or impose restrictions.

Some digging shows e.g.
https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/2231
https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/2253
https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/2228

and some others.

I hope the situation gets better when we have a newer JabRef release
in Debian and by extension in Ubuntu ...


Cheers,
gregor
