Can't import second page of search results in Millennium OPAC
My library has an OPAC that is run by III's Millennium. On individual records and on the first page of search results, Zotero imports the items just fine. But on the second page of search results, Zotero doesn't recognize anything to be imported. So for example, Zotero can import search page 1:
http://library/search/?searchscope=7&searchtype=X&searcharg=history&SORT=D&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=Submit
but not search page 2:
http://library/search~S7?/Xhistory&searchscope=7&SORT=D/Xhistory&searchscope=7&SORT=D&SUBKEY=history/51%2C32000%2C32000%2CB/browse
I suspect that the problem has something to do with the fact that Millennium changes the format of the URL after going to the second page, which probably throws off the Zotero translator.
If you go from search page 1 to search page 2 and back again to page 1, the URL for page 1 is different, and Zotero doesn't recognize the items to be imported. So, this:
http://library/search/?searchscope=7&searchtype=X&searcharg=history&SORT=D&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=Submit
and this:
http://library/search~S7?/Xhistory&searchscope=7&SORT=D/Xhistory&searchscope=7&SORT=D&SUBKEY=history/1%2C32000%2C32000%2CB/browse
point to the exact same results, but Zotero sees items on the first page and not on the second.
Can the translator be updated?
http://library/search/?searchscope=7&searchtype=X&searcharg=history&SORT=D&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=Submit

http://library/search~S7?/Xhistory&searchscope=7&SORT=D/Xhistory&searchscope=7&SORT=D&SUBKEY=history/51%2C32000%2C32000%2CB/browse

To sum up the issues with Millenium:
- if you perform a search, the first page of results will give you a folder of results
HOWEVER
- if you navigate to the 2nd page of results, those items do not get detected
- if you navigate back to the first page of results from the 2nd, the results disappear
- many Millenium OPACs provide persistent links to the items in the catalog. The persistent links do not get translated at all.
On that last point, for example:
searching for a book: http://bearcat.baylor.edu/search~S7?/tone+hundred+years+of+solitude/tone+hundred+years+of+solitude/1%2C2%2C6%2CB/frameset&FF=tone+hundred+years+of+solitude&1%2C%2C5
that record's persistent link: http://bearcat.baylor.edu/record=b1106257~S7

Could someone please weigh in on when this might be fixed? III OPACs are used very often.
