At work, on the systems where my LibO version is installed, windows explorer
shows thumbnails but content is not indexed for searching

Same settings.

Here's the strange thing. I tried to reproduce the issue at home, on my own
Windows 10 system (x64, build 1909). The issue does *not* appear. Indexing
happens instantly. Additionally, the filter name is the same, "OpenDocument
Format Filter", however a newer LibO is installed at home, 6.2.7.1 (also x64).

I'm not sure of how one finds the GUID of the filter. Perhaps it's
7BC0E710-5703-45BE-A29D-5D46D8B39262 ?

I'll be back to work on Monday, at that time I'll report back on the filter
GUID used on the problematic office installation.

With any luck, a newer LibO version will solve this problem for my users.
