[fix] semantic scholar: method not allowed / engine doesn't work

Fixes the semantic scholar engine by extracting a ui version token.

BTW: remove html tags from the content.

Author's checklist:

- they are ratelimiting very fast, if you do approx more than 2 requests per
  minute, you have to wait some time again...

- they also have an official api at api.semanticscholar.org, but it's ratelimits
  are even harder
