Description Alice 2016-07-04 09:00:48 UTC 
When I search paper from google scholar, return "Searching 'Google Scholar' failed with error message: Error downloading http://scholar.google.com/ -server replied: Forbidden.

I cannot confirm this problem on my end. The error message does not contain sufficient information on what is happening. Possible reasons may include that you made too many requests to Google Scholar and you are simply blocked (temporarily). Please try again from a different IP address (or even different subnet).
If the problem persists, please run KBibTeX from a terminal/command line, record all output, and attach it to this bug report.

Hello Alice,

1. No update on this bug report for more than a year.
2. Works for me and no other user has reported issues.
3. Google blocks users for various issues, such as too many requests or suspicion of being a bot (just try to use Tor and see what happens).
-> Closing bug.
