Glad you like it.  That's interesting that you notice different  
results, since nothing in the selection/search process has changed  
recently.  It actually searches based on author surnames, title,  
keywords, and cite key, but I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere.

The plugin will also search through your document for \label{}s so  
you can autocomplete \ref{} commands.
