Somebody gave me a script. I find it very useful for finding a word or
phrase within my odt documents. I hope this helps.

don@PC-002:~/Documents/Sermons$ cat search_odt_files
#!/bin/bash
# run this script by typing the following
# sh search_odt_files "this string"
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
echo "Usage: searchodt searchterm"
exit 1
fi
# added */ in front of *.odt to search subdirectories of a directory
for file in $(ls */*.odt); do
unzip -ca "$file" content.xml | grep -ql "$1"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$file"
fi
done

Hi :)
Which platform?
If you are on Gnu&Linux then some sort of grep command on the command line
might be an optimally efficient route.
I am assuming your searching the contents rather than just searching for a
file-name as a file-name search would be fairly trivial in any OS wouldn't
it?

Given a list of documents, is there a convenient way of doing a Find on
the whole set of documents in the list?
