Enterprise Rollout

Rolling out Lora ensures everyone in your company can use shortcuts without manual setup. IT admins can choose from several deployment methods depending on company policies and infrastructure.

The recommended way to roll out Lora is by deploying the browser extension to all employees through Chrome Enterprise or Microsoft Edge.

With this approach, users automatically receive the Lora extension in their browser, with no manual steps required.

Custom search engine

If your company prefers not to install extensions, you can configure Lora as a custom search engine in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.

Steps (Chrome)

  1. Open Settings → Search engine → Manage search engines and site search.
  2. Under Site search, click Add.
  3. Enter:
    • Name: Lora
    • Shortcut: short
    • URL: https://app.uselora.com/s/%s
  4. Save.

Now typing short handbook in the address bar will search directly in Lora.

Domain search allows users to type shortcuts without a prefix. With the search domain lora-searchdomain.com configured, typing handbook in the browser bar will resolve to handbook.lora-searchdomain.com and redirect through your Lora workspace.

Steps

  • macOS: Configure the search domain under System Settings → Network → DNS → Search Domains → add lora-searchdomain.com.
  • Windows: Add the DNS suffix under Network Adapter Properties → IPv4 → Advanced → DNS → add lora-searchdomain.com.
  • Managed devices: Push the setting with MDM (JAMF or Intune).

Internal DNS entry

Note: Internal DNS entry is only available on paid plans. Contact our team to enable this feature for your workspace.

An internal DNS entry allows employees to type shortcuts like http://short/handbook directly into their browser and resolve them through your company’s network — no browser extension required.

How it works

By creating an A record in your internal DNS, you point a short hostname (commonly short) to Lora’s infrastructure IP address. The IP address to use is shown in your workspace settings. When employees type http://short/slug, DNS resolves it directly to Lora, which routes the request to your workspace.

Steps

  1. Open your internal DNS settings.
  2. Create a new A record:
    • Name: short
    • IP Address: (provided by Lora in your workspace settings)
  3. Save the record and apply changes to your DNS server.
  4. Have employees type http://short/ in their browser once to initialize resolution.
  5. After that, shortcuts like http://short/handbook will resolve automatically on your network.

Do I still need the extension?

  • With an internal DNS entry, shortcuts work seamlessly inside your corporate network.
  • We still recommend installing the Lora extension, because it enables:
    • Using shortcuts outside the corporate network (remote, mobile, travel).
    • Features like autocomplete, quick create, and advanced shortcut options.

Tailscale VPN

If your organization uses Tailscale, you can route shortcut resolution through your VPN.

  • Enable MagicDNS in Tailscale.
  • Configure it to resolve lora-searchdomain.com.
  • Push the settings to all devices connected to your tailnet.

Domain push via MDM (JAMF / Intune)

For enterprise customers, Lora supports rolling out search domain settings and browser configuration via Mobile Device Management (MDM). This allows IT admins to deploy Lora across all company devices without manual setup by end users.

Benefits

  • Seamless rollout of Lora to all managed devices
  • New employees get access to Lora immediately when their device is enrolled
  • Prevents workflow disruption — no need for users to configure settings manually
  • Works in incognito/private browsing windows
  • No VPN required — accessible from anywhere once deployed

Considerations

  • If a user accesses shortcuts in incognito mode, they may be prompted to sign in before continuing.
  • Device enrollment in JAMF or Intune is required for configuration to apply.

JAMF (macOS)

With JAMF, you can push configuration profiles to all managed macOS devices.

  • Search domain: Add lora-searchdomain.com to DNS Search Domains.
  • Browser extension: Push the Lora Chrome/Edge extension via the ExtensionInstallForcelist payload.
  • Custom search engine (optional): Deploy a managed search engine configuration with keyword short and URL https://app.uselora.com/s/%s.

Steps

  1. Open JAMF Pro → Configuration Profiles → New.
  2. Select Wi-Fi or Network payload and add DNS Search Domains → lora-searchdomain.com.
  3. Add an Application & Custom Settings payload for Chrome or Edge to install the Lora extension.
  4. Save and assign the profile to your target devices or groups.

Intune (Windows)

With Microsoft Intune, you can push device configuration policies to all managed Windows clients.

  • Search domain: Add lora-searchdomain.com as a DNS suffix in device configuration.
  • Browser extension: Force-install the Lora extension in Chrome or Edge via settings catalog.
  • Custom search engine (optional): Configure managed search engines with keyword short and URL https://app.uselora.com/s/%s.

Steps

  1. Open Intune admin center → Devices → Configuration profiles → Create profile.
  2. Select Windows 10/11 → Settings catalog.
  3. Add settings for:
    • DNS suffix → lora-searchdomain.com
    • Microsoft Edge / Chrome Extensions → Add the Lora extension ID
    • Managed search engine (optional)
  4. Assign the profile to device/user groups.
  5. Save and sync policy to apply.
