FileLocator Lite not finding .odt files by content with "Enhanced Document Searching"

Question

In my installation of FileLocator Lite (Build 825 on a Windows 7 system) I found that .odt files were no longer found by supplying a (matching) filename prefix and a (matching) content search term when "Office/PDF documents" is checked under "Enhanced Document Searching" in "Options".

The only recent change to the system, apart from regular Windows updates, was a recent update to LibreOffice. Could that indeed cause problems, and how can I solve them?

Answer 1

FileLocator Lite uses ODT IFilters that should be installed by LibreOffice. If the LibreOffice update did not install or removed the IFilters then the content search would stop working.

A quick search on Google for 'LibreOffice IFilter' appears to indicate that this is a common problem with LibreOffice.
