After installing, I was able to access the API from the localhost. But, without any firewall active on the host, I wasn't able to access the API from other machines in my local network. The documentation didn't mention how to enable full network access to the API.

Also, it would be a good idea to explain the scope of the project in the documentation. Apparently this isn't a tool that indexes a bunch of PDF, DOC or TXT documents on a local computer, or HTML documents on a web server. It expects some form of pre-indexing, like the movie list in JSON format in the example. The "full text" aspect is relevant to that list or pre-index, not the full text of the referenced files, right?
