Welcome to our forum, @Lauradrh, and thank you for your question! The Google Docs sidebar add-on that you have installed searches keywords, authors, author + year, and identifiers like DOIs, PMIDs, and ISBNs.
If a search for the title does not return what you need, try searching by DOI or another identifier instead:

Click the P button to open the Insert citation dialog, type in the title, and then click Search online for papers to find what you need:
