“using search term" uses PubMed to download the bibliographic information (by default), basically using the same method as a (PubMed) search group. How well that works probably depends on what type of publication you are looking for. Using the “from” argument essentially does the same thing as pasting on the main table and New Publication from Clipboard, which for a DOI string gets bibtex data from the DOI site. That probably is valid more generally.
