Hey, I just discovered this project and it looks pretty cool.
I tried the python install which looked very simple from the readme. However, after installing and running the command, I'm not really sure how to start a search or get to the search interface.

Serving on http://WindowsDesktop:5000 is the output i get in the terminal. just pasting that into the browser did not work ('Unable to connect'). I assume I need to do some further set-up regarding the ip address or the ports, but I did want to ask here first before messing around with any settings.

Sorry if this question is kinda primitive, but thanks for the work!

found it out myself, you need to enter the ip-adress and the port into the browser url-bar: ip-number:port-number

In hindsight that's kind of obvious to anyone more familiar with this, I should have known that.
