Google Chrome version 101.0.4951.41 introduced an issue in the GlobalSearch Web grid view search results page (the “Grid View”) where a gray bar appears above the search results, obscuring the first few rows of results. This issue affects all GlobalSearch instances running GlobalSearch version 4.5.0 or newer.

...

The GlobalSearch release update 6.2.112 addresses this. However, sites running older versions of GlobalSearch will need to patch this manually. To fix this, two files need to be correctedThis can be manually fixed by making changes in two files, as details below. It is highly recommended to use a an advanced text editor such as notepad++, vimVim, or VS Code.

This requires access to the GlobalSearch application server and should be performed by an IT professional.

Warning

Back up all relevant files before making any edits. If the issue persists after making these changes, revert the files to the backup.

Note

After making these changes, users will need to hard refresh the Search Results page or clear their browser cache.

File 1: simple-sidebar.css

Locate the file "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Square9Web\css\simple-sidebar.css" and make the following two changes:

...

Code Block
languagecss
height:calc(100vh - 140px);padding-top:50px

...

File 2: globalSearch.min.js

Locate the file "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Square9Web\js\globalSearch.min.js" and make the following change:

Step 1

Find the text

Code Block
languagejs
if($("#page-content-wrapper").css("margin-top",s),$("#page-content-wrapper").offset()){var g=$(document).height()-$("#page-content-wrapper")

and replace it with

Code Block
languagejs
if($("#page-content-wrapper").css("padding-top",s),$

Note that the letter that comes after “margin-top", will vary from system to system. If you can’t find ("#page-content-wrapper").

...

css("margin-top",s) exactly, try searching for ("#page-content-wrapper").css("margin-top", instead.Note that this will vary from system to system. The key difference is in the letter found after .css(

in your system, as it is needed in the next step.

Step 2

Next, find the text

Code Block
languagejs
$(document).height()-$("#page-content-wrapper")

and replace it with

Code Block
languagejs
$(document).height()-s-$

...

("#page-content-wrapper")

If the letter after “margin-top", found in step one is different than s, use that letter after height()- instead. For example, if you found the letter e, as in ("#page-content-wrapper").css("paddingmargin-top",e) and .height()-$ to , then your replacement for Step 2 would be:

Code Block
languagejs
$(document).height()-e-$("#page-content-wrapper")
