"Microsoft Academic Search" - abstract?

terber
When using the Zotero web translator for search results of the "Microsoft Academic Search" I miss the abstracts.

Is this simply a yet lacking feature of the translator, or did Microsoft change their result layout? Any chance to add this ability?

I am willing to support the extension of the translator as far as my time allows. I am a developer on my own, but coming from a C++ background, so my jScript knowledge is very limited at best.

    Done. Abstract is now included where available. Update your translators via Preferences -> General -> Update Now

    The issue was that MS Academic Search does not export abstracts via any of their export formats (BibTeX, RIS, RefWorks). We're scraping them directly from page now.

    Wow, Aurimas, that was impressive!

    Where can I donate something for Zotero?

    Zotero doesn't take donations, but you can buy extra storage. https://www.zotero.org/settings/storage

    (and/or tell all your friends. We're also always excited when people help with translator or other development. Especially for translators the javascript isn't terribly complicated https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators/coding )
