Works for me with Windows XP Pro sp2. It doesn't find text in fields
though, which is irritating. I imagine it is the integrated ZIP
functionality of XP that makes it work in XP.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I also use Copernic Desktop search and I
sometimes wondered why the results were so sparse, but now I see it's
the OOo documents that are missing.  I even have some .txt files which I
used to save e-mails or web pages but then formatted and saved to .sxw
files.  It finds the words in .txt, but not the identical (except for
formatting) Ooo files.
