Google Chrome v142 Local Network Permissions

Starting with Google Chrome version 142 (and other browsers based on Google Chrome, like Microsoft Edge) an additional permission needs to be granted on GlobalSearch/GlobalCapture/GlobalSearch GO for the websites to be able to communicate and function as expected.

The Google Chrome permission is tied to the domain name, if you access the website from another domain you’d need to grant that domain the permission as well

GlobalSearch Extensions

When you first access GlobalSearch Web, or certain portions of GlobalCapture the browser will ask if you want to allow access to the local network, you need to “Allow” this permissions for GlobalSearch Extensions to function as expected.

If you’ve already Blocked the permission or if you’re not sure you can click the “Settings icon” and it should show you what permissions are allowed on the website, toggle the “Local Network Permissions to allowed
