Looks like it is piping the queries over to scholar.google.com - getting only timeouts right now though.

It uses scholar as a search engine, but then it replaces the links in the results. e.g.

    http://link.springer.com/link-to-paper
becomes:

    http://link.springer.com.sci-hub.io/link-to-paper
As far as I can tell, it works for some articles.

Just use DOI of the article, then it's instant and bypasses Google search
