I'm not sure if this one is that usable or not, do you provide a 'à la 
google' search field ?

If possible, i'd like to see DOi first since this is more and more used 
  and is more cross-discplines thant other identifiers (like pubmedID 
for instance).

I think DOI and this one are sufficient for most of the queries, but it 
depends on other PoV :-)

I think you could keep this one and drop the simple search.
