As some follow up
Ed Pentz from CrossRef tells me that the Google/CrossRef Search Pilot is on
hold, but as far as he is aware Google is still indexing the 45 publishers
involved (rules of indexing agreed between Google and individual
publishers).
I'm still not sure whether Google Scholar uses that data. But using the
restriction=crossref in vanilla google you get a mini google scholar. The
list of publishers is:
    *  Alphamed Press
    * American Institute of Physics
    * American Physical Society
    * American Psychiatric Publishing
    * American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
    * American Society of Civil Engineers
    * Annual Reviews
    * Ashley Publications
    * Association for Computing Machinery
    * Austrian Academy of Sciences Press
    * BioMed Central
    * Blackwell Publishing
    * BMJ Publishing Group
    * Cambridge University Press
    * Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press
    * EDP Science
    * FASEB
    * IEEE
    * INFORMS
    * Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Academy of Sciences
of the Czech Republic
    * Institute of Physics Publishing
    * International Union of Crystallography
    * Investigative Ophthamology and Visual Science
    * Institute of Pure and Applied Physics (IPAP)
    * Journal of Clinical Oncology
    * S. Karger AG
    * Lawrence Erlbaum Associates
    * Mary Ann Liebert
    * Medicine Publishing Group
    * Nature Publishing Group
    * Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag
    * Oxford University Press
    * Peeters Publishers
    * PNAS
    * RILEM Publications SARL
    * Royal College of Psychiatrists
    * Springer-Verlag
    * Taylor & Francis
    * Thieme Publishing Group
    * University of California Press
    * University of Chicago Press
