I'm venturing into territory where I have very little direct
knowledge, but my understanding is that the Research Pane sends
requests to "web services" -- specific types of applications that
"speak" a particular protocol. The URL you have is simply the HTML
front page of Brittanica's web site, not a web service (if indeed they
offer one).
Since you have a subscription, contact Brittanica's customer service
department and ask whether they offer a web service that Office can
talk to, and how to access it.
