Wrong citation number about zotero-scholar-citations

[nico-zck]

First, I need to explain why I implemented a rough time range query .
For example, if a paper titled "Explaining and Exploiting Adversarial Examples" has a year of "2013" in Zotero, the original version will produce a URL that results in an incorrect query (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Explaining+and+Harnessing+Adversarial+Examples&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2013&as_yhi=2013), while a looser range, such as 2012 - 2014, will hit the correct query (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Explaining+and+Harnessing+Adversarial+Examples&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2012&as_yhi=2014).

For this paper, this plugin generates a url like: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Transport%20of%20complex%20and%20active%20fluids%20in%20porous%20media&as_epq=&as_occt=title&num=1&as_sauthors=Kumar+Guasto+Ardekani&as_ylo=2020&as_yhi=2024.
It's obviously that the 2022 is covered by the range of 2020—2024, however, google scholar will return a wrong result.
I think it's a bug caused by Google scholar.

Or, do you have any suggestion to this problem?

Looks great! I will test this solution and fix it in the next release.

Yes, I think keeping the looser range is a wise choice.
I just find out a solution: add the names of the first few authors directly into the search query. Is it possible?
For example, the query (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&num=1&as_sdt=0%2C33&as_ylo=2020&as_yhi=2024&q=Transport+of+complex+and+active+fluids+in+porous+media+Kumar+Guasto)

Look back the last link in the previous comment, I already added the first three authors in the query url. But it still not work😂.

Sorry, I just learn that you have already included the author names.

Replacing q= with as_q= gives the correct result, although the reason remains unknown.
