Still: I found it in the Preferences panel, edited template.txt, which
was put in the folder
~/Library/Application Support/BibDesk/
and added what I wanted. If I go back to the Preferences and edit
again I see that my changes are saved. But when I save into a
bibliography file, noting is added to the file (I did check the
checkbox
"Write template file at the front of every file while saving"
It does really look like a bug?

I wish I could help. This seems to be true: if you are on Mathscinet,
and have just made a search in HTML mode (just like on Google
Scholar), if you add "&fmt=bibtex" to the url, you would get an html
file with something ready for a cut and paste to BibDesk. But
everything to cut and paste is actually included in the <pre> </pre>
HTML tags, so could easily be parsed out. How do you do it for Google
Scholar? Is it documented?
