I've been suffering the same for a long time.

* Windows 10 Home 1909 64-bit, running at home.
* LibreOffice 6.4.4.2 as of today, but it happened just the same with previous
versions.
* In Advanced indexing options, LibreOffice file extensions are associated with
"OpenDocument Format Filter" for properties and contents.
* I have a folder with some 50 .odt files I have created myself.

These are the symptoms:

* Contents of .pdf, .docx and many other file types are found in Windows 10
searches.
* Contents of .odt files are not found in Windows 10 searches.
* Rebuilding the index does not cure the issue.
* If I save the file as .docx or .doc, matches in the new .docx or .doc file
appear (but of course not in the .odt file).
* If I rename the .odt file as .sxw, matches appear instantly in searches (with
no change in format involved!).
* Large icons in Windows File Explorer show a faithful image of the file
contents.

Search *has* worked in the past, but only occasionally, and not for long. I
cannot tell when did it work, for how long, and which were the special
conditions, if any, but I've seen it work a couple times without doing anything
special (that I remember).

I'm reasonably tech-savvy, but no Windows expert. With kind guidance I can look
through regedit, browse logs if you tell me where they are, or run stuff on a
console and report results.

I'd be so happy if this was solved. It looks like a very small bug. I repeat I
*have* seen it work in a system, and then again not work without any further
changes I could tell.
