public List<BibEntry> performSearch(String url) throws FetcherException Looks for bibliographic information for the resource located at the given URL. Implementations must validate the given string themselves (it is typically raw user input, e.g. pasted from the clipboard) and throw a `FetcherException` if it is not a URL they can handle. Failures while gathering optional data (such as an unreachable host) should not lead to an exception, implementations should instead return the best entry they can construct from the URL alone.
