[solved] 889: "Search in Office XML" yields no results for ODT files

Steps to reproduce:
- Have a folder containing ODT files (Libre Office) that you know contain the text you will be searching for
- Open "Search files/folders"
- Enter some "Containing text"
- Check "Search in Office XML"

Should give you files that have your search term, but list is empty.
On the other hand, using xdoc2txt as described in https://freecommander.com/en/faq-search/ gives the proper results (but is pretty slow)

Not confirmed.
Tested with a mix of ODT and DOCX files.
The searched text was always found

Thanks for the feedback.

I just noticed there is an exclamation mark next to the tab "Search log" and some entries "Archiver plugin not found or the file can not be handle (e.g. password protection)".
There is no password protection on those files.

This led me to "Settings > Archiver plugins > WCX" where I noticed that "fcZip" was disabled (no idea if/why I should have done that). After enabling it, the search now is ok.
