How can I search many .odt (or .sxw) files for one word?

I want to find the file by typing one word of the file title in any desktop search engine.

There are a few ways to do this:

• The Windows desktop default search when you click the  Start  button and then type the file name in the Search box.
• A good cross-platform solution is DocSearcher, a Java app which searches and indexes Apache OpenOffice files as well as MS Office, text, PDFs, etc. You need to create a new index before you begin any search. It is easy to use, very fast and allows fancy searches with advanced options.
