What feature would you like to request? fill and bibtex require using a proxy. It would be nice not having to use it or have it specified in the documentation.

It is unfortunately the restriction imposed by Google Scholar (not scholarly) that necessitates the proxy use. We can't achieve the former, but can make it more specific in the documentation.

I think it could be useful for new users like me to have a note about that in the documentation :) It looks that it is able to fetch ~20 entries before stopping, but I have no idea if that is just my experience or not.

More or less. 20 entries is two pages after which Google's scholar anti-bot mechanism is kicking in in this case.
