On the results page, you will see an icon in your web browser's address bar or next to it, depending on which browser you are using.
Click the icon to add a citation or web page to your Zotero library.
A box will pop up in the bottom right corner to let you know where your items are being saved (in "My Library" or another folder you created).
Import PDFs from your computer
