Google scholar cannot save citation, treats it like a webpage

Instead of a folder where I can select each reference in the search that I want to save citations for, zotero connector treats it like a webpage and only takes a snapshot of the search and no citation data. I have tried closing both my browser and the zotero standalone and it still doesn't work.

Could you say what view exactly this is? The link doesn't show anything for me and doesn't look like it's a regular query, but looks like it's some kind of list?

Yes, when I do a search using key words I get a list of different sources. Usually then a folder appears in the chrome toolbar and I can click on that and I get a selection of all the references on the page and then I select what I want to save. But now I can only save the search itself as a webpage snapshot and the individual citations cannot be saved to zotero.

again, how exactly do you get to this view? This doesn't look like a regular search (which, likely, is why it doesn't work with Zotero).

I go to google scholar and enter "public health documentaries" or "public health" and "documentaries." Is that not a regular search?

hadn't seen the edit. The second one (and what you describe doing) is a regular search. The first link you posted wasn't from one.

Run through https://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues as they apply. For the last step (if the others don't help) we'd want a Debug ID from the connector for loading or reloading your second link.

I enter my search terms here on the google scholar landing page (https://scholar.google.com.pe/schhp?hl=en&as_sdt=0,5) but zotero treats the findings as a webpage and I can't import citations into it.

See my post right above yours for troubleshooting. No need to re-state the problem you're having. I understand that. I'm just not seeing it, so we need to figure out why things aren't working for you.
