IntelliJ IDEA does not scan maven centralized repository for artifacts

In eclipse the dependency artifacts can be searched from the centralized repository with maven plugin and added to the pom.xml file. But in IntelliJ IDEA the dependency search work only in local repository. If the searched artifact is not in local repository, the result would be empty.
Is there a way to search for artifacts from central repository and add it to pom.xml in IntelliJ ?
