--- Comment #20 from Karlheinz Lorenz <loren...@t-online.de> ---
Problem description:
Same observations with LO 3.6.4, 3.6.5 and 4.0release often reproduced in the
last weeks and months!
I tested several times on different machines and under Windows7-Ulimate-32bit,
Windows7-prof-64bit and Windows XP SP3 with equivalent results. 
So I confirm all above bug reports.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install current LO.
2. Create new Document, for example .odt with a specific term.
3. Search for that term with Windows Search. You will not find your new
document. If there was a prvious installation of OO or LO 3.5. or older, you
might see some older odt-documents in search results.
4. Rebuild index. You will not find any more .odt-Documents at all in search
results.
5. Create new .odt-document(s) and observe indexing options. You can observe,
that the number of indexed elments is increased, but you will not find any
terms from within these documents.

Current behavior:
Obviously searchfilters are installed and registered correctly, but when
indexing contents are not determined correctly.

Expected behavior:
Normal behavior of Windows Search includung content of Open-Document files...

Workaround:
Just save the dlls of 3.5.7's folder ..program\shlxthdl\ (or extract them from
the installation file) and replace the correspondent dlls of 3.6 or 4.0 and
rebuild serch index.

Research: 
Unfortunately I am not a skilled Windows-Programmer nor is it easy to get
specific information about the functioning of Windows search. Just found
http://msdn.microsoft.com/En-US/library/bb266532.aspx and
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/search_filter_view.html helpful. But after all I
came to the conclusion that installation and registration of all filters are
correct both for 32bit and 64bit-installations.
Looking in the sources and comparing 3.5.7 with actual versions there are only
slight differences in the source codes of the filter-dlls, but there is a
completely new structure of the makefiles. It might be worth to study this, but
I have not enough background, sorry.
But no matter what: It is hard to understand, why this bug is not recognised by
more people and not taken care of after months!

There is an equivalent Bug report: "Bug 56035 – Windows search" in a different
section: Component "Installation".
