I tried searching for one of my papers by the bibtex cite-key that I entered and it didn't work. This would be a useful feature because often I get error messages from latex saying thing like:

`pages' is a missing field, not a string, for entry Whitten2006

and I'd like to quickly go to CiteULike and search for the article by cite-key and add the missing or incorrect information.

OK, fair point. I'll try to add something that helps.

Changing the search functionality is not straightforward. However, tinkering with the URL syntax of the main site can be quite simple, so I've added the ability to specify a key, in conjunction with a username, in a URL, like this:
