    Does anyone know if such a beast exists? I suppose I should qualify that by saying a free desktop search program, as I have found a paid one (dtSearch), but that one starts at $199, which is way too steep for me! Yahoo's desktop search supports OpenOffice text files up to v.1.1, but not beyond - I'd really like to find one that will search through my v.2.0 OpenOffice documents as well.
    Thanks!

    You could try Copernic. It's features page has a link to a listing of file types it supports, and that includes OpenOffice 2.

    Shame yahoo!/X1 doesn't search OpenOffice 2 documents though, as I think it is the best desktop search tool.

    I was a little disappointed that there was no sign of development for OpenOffice on the X1 site (the Yahoo tool effectively being a free version of the X1 tool). The look to be aiming at the Corporate market where MS Office is still king.
