Thanks for formulating the bug in another way. However, it's still a bug. please reopen. As far as I'm concerned, .doc is not a text format either and gnome-search-tool can still find the text in those documents. What you're saying is that people who want to search for text in documents shouldn't be using gnome-searchtool, or ODF. Well, then the search tool shouldn't be pretending that it can find text in documents, because it cannot. So maybe that feature should be removed from gnome-search-tool, because it doesn't work for the people it is intended for. If a user is tech-savvy enough to know that ODF files are really zipfiles containing xml, and that he should use zipgrep if he wants to find text in a document, he wouldn't be using gnome-search-tool in the first place. One can't expect a user that uses gnome-search-tool to know the technical intricacies of certain file formats. That's why we have graphical applications, hiding those details. And if those applications don't do what the user can reasonably expect, it's a bug.
