    Can't search contents of ODT files


    Long story short: In Windows 10 under "settings," "search," "searching windows," "advanced search indexer settings," "advanced," "file types," the .ODT extension has "plain text filter" next to it. Obviously that doesn't work for searching the content of ODT files because there is no plain text in them. Shouldn't it have something like "open document filter?" How do I change it? Thanks.

    :)
