I accidentally locked my Desktop Search. And as far as I can tell, the systray memu item called "Unlock Search..." is just there for decoration (I have version 5.7.801.1629), because it did nothing for me when I clicked on it. I could only surmise that the menu item was trying to launch a URL in my default browser, failed for some reason, and decided to keep quiet about it.
Eventually managed to find out the port (4664), went there and unlocked it via the web interface:
http://127.0.0.1:4664/
I don't know how I had been able to live without
Google Desktop. I use it primarily for searching my inbox (8 years' worth of emails).
