Thanks for the tip. I found this, tried the google search extension, and gave up after google search tried during a couple of hours to index all my PC's contents without success ! Maybe google search is usable after all, but it looks like boarding a 747 to cross the street.
I think simple problems should have simple solutions. IMHO, OpenOffice should have a "file search" command with preview.
