Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 96743
Windows Search for content in ODF files don´t work in OOo 3.0.0
Last modified: 2009-09-28 11:53:41 UTC
I have many text files in ODT format and I search their content through the Windows Explorer Search (using the "A word or phrase in the file" textbox). I have Windows XP SP3. After the installation of 3.0.0, the search for content in ODF files in Windows Explorer doesn't work. In the 2.4.1 version, this search works fine. In my search, the only approximate reference about this question was found here: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=96218 As I understand, the ooofiltproxy.dll is responsible for the identification of ODF files but the path is wrong in the Windows Register, correct? This problem will be solved in 3.0.1?
Reproducible! "2.4.1 Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [680m17(Build9310)]" on my PC, what has been replaced (without having been wiped from HD) by "Ooo 3.0.0 (DE) Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [OOO300m9 (Build9358)]". Additionally I have installed "Ooo 3.1 Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [DEV300m36 (Build 9369)]". When I try to find a word of the document contents with WIN Explorer search, the words will only be found in the PDF exports I have from my documents, but not within the OOo documents.
Even with the fix of issue 96218 in cws native209 the search won't work. @ tm: Please have a look and assigne to the related developer.
this issue really deserves fixing. i think it should be considered at least P2 and i suggest to add it to the 3.0.1 stoppers metaissue. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=93339
I had the same problem and cast my full votes for this issue.
Still reproducible in a m40 build, -> HRO please have a look
TM->KSO: please take over
set target 3.2 and removed from 3.1 blocker list as agreed in release status meeting.
tkr: Please take over.
Accepted
added to cws tkr23
tkr: Please ensure that the desktop search feature works on all Windows derivates supported by OOo. (Win2K, XP, Vista, Windows 7(!),...)
Fixed in cws tkr23
*** Issue 71112 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
TKR->TM: Please verify. Relevant platforms are Win2k, WinXP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
checked and verified in cws tkr23 -> OK !
The search doesn't succeed if the file is within the "My Documents" folder. This is a different issue -> #i104084
