Windows 10: Windows is not "index" a doc, file or zip file.

Windows is not "index" a doc, file or zip file. When I search in File Explorer it will not find the file that I know and can see when I search the folder manually?

:)

 

"hidden" text in DOC files IS indexed in Windows Indexing Service, but hidden text in DOCX files IS NOT indexed

Windows Index Service does index "hidden" text in DOC files, but the Index Service does not index hidden text in DOCX files .

Any way to index the hidden text in a DOCX file?

Don't know if this is relevant, but:

I notice that in the "Indexing Options/Advanced Options/File Types" dialog box,

DOC files have a "Filter Description" of "Microsoft Office Filter,"

while DOCX files have a "Filter Description" of "Open Office XML Format Word Filter."

Perhaps the difference in the filter is the problem? Any way to change that?

Many thanks for any help!!
