LibreOffice files and others NOT parsed

[marco]

Very good pgm, but even though it should also find Open Document Format (OpenOffice, LibreOffice, etc.) as indicated in About (Version 1.3.2477), it doesn’t actually parse .ODT, .ODS, etc.
Nor does it parse .RTF and .LOG files.
Why these limitations?

Hello.

Some file formats are not in the search list.

Please add the file format first and then search.

After the file type is successfully added, please update the index first, and then search the file content.

Thank you.

Thanks, but it seems quite cumbersome to me; other equivalent pgms don’t have this complication.
The need to repeatedly refresh the indexing is also quite annoying and often flawed (it even detects files that no longer exist, but then fails to open them and displays a “Failed to read file…” warning).

I agree with the other posters. All file extensions (including a blank extension) that commonly include indexible, human-usable  content should be included in the rule by default.
