That scripts is a third party script, so it was never shipped with BibDesk. In 
fact, the script seems to be included in the script bundle you can download 
from the site you mentioned, so you should already have it.

As you say, you can also use the web group. Indeed, it will not download the 
PDF *when searching*, as those are just potential items you *may* import, so it 
should not just pollute your file system with automatically downloaded 
(potentially large) files. However, you can easily download the PDF after 
importing from the detail window or the linked files pane. You can even tell 
BibDesk to do that automatically when importing (see the General preferences).
