It scares me actually, when trying a search I got this: поиск временно недоступен. пожалуйста, используйте DOI или прямые ссылки search temporarily unavailable, please use DOI or direct links If you're using Google chrome, you can install Sci-Hub extension to use search. To do this: Download the extension and unpack it. You get the "Sci-Hub" folder with code. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions, or just open the menu -> settings -> extensions. Check the developer mode in upper right.[...]

I am an avid user of Sci-hub and I never saw this before.

  It's the message that shows up when you try searching. It says that "search temporarily unavailable, please use DOI or direct links" and then under that "If you're using Google chrome, you can install Sci-Hub extension to use search", with instructions. I've installed it in the past and it does work, but I was also wary about enabling developer mode and Chrome would nag me on startup each time that it was unsafe so I ended up disabling it.

  You probably just paste DOI codes there like most of us. Originally, sci-hub supported searching for codewords/topics (by using Google Scholar), but then their IPs got banned from Google Scholar and the workaround is to install this extension. It modifies Google Scholar pages so that all links to paywalled articles are replaced with links to sci-hub pdfs of same articles. Google would never approve this extension, so you need to install it in dev-mode. But again, for most people's usage, it's completely unnecessary. Paste DOI -> get pdf works without any 'extensions' necessary.

The main purpose of sci-hub is to link you a pdf when you enter a unique article identifier (DOI). The search is a secondary feature, and their servers got banned from Google Scholar (which the search used originally), so now you're required to install an extension if you want to search for topics etc. All the extension does is that it modifies Google Scholar pages so that links to paywalled articles on journal sites link to sci-hub pdfs instead. Google, of course, would never approve this extension so you need to install it in developer mode. But, once again, primary method of use for sci-hub is entering DOI codes into that search field, and getting the pdf link directly after clicking 'search'. For that, absolutely no extensions are needed and most people use it that way. As for you being scared of a website, maybe buying a pacifier and sucking on it would help. <3
