Dear all,

Looks like the regex for detecting sources in ProQuest (or at least in their Dissertations and Theses database) is missing one possible case. As it exists now, it reads

^https?://search\\.proquest\\.com[^/]*(/abi[a-z]*|/pqrl|/pqdt|/hnp[a-z]*|dissertations)?/(docview|publication|publicationissue|results)

 which gives me no icon to pull data. But when I add "/pqdtft" in the middle there, it works fine:

^https?://search\\.proquest\\.com[^/]*(/abi[a-z]*|/pqrl|/pqdtft|/pqdt|/hnp[a-z]*|dissertations)?/(docview|publication|publicationissue|results)

Here's a sample page:

Note that the fix does work even with my proxy, for both individual theses and multiple search results.

-Ben
