Hi Andrew

Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you.

I installed Tracker on my (Linux Mint / Gnome) system, and waited for it to
index my hard drives.

I entered a few search terms, and had hundreds of hits. I couldn't find an
ODT document among them, though found DOC and SXW documents.

I then added ODT to the end of my search terms, and only had listed
documents that were both ODT and matched the other search terms.

So, it seems that Tracker does successfully index SXW and ODT documents.
Subsequent experiments prove it also indexes SXC and ODS spreadsheets.

Hope this helps.
