            Bug ID: 143892
           Summary: support macOS Spotlight indexing of OpenDocument files
                    like odt ods etc
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lo at disr.it

Description:
Spotlight is search on macOS
https://support.apple.com/en-en/guide/mac-help/mchlp1008/mac

It is quite useful but currently it lacks the ability to index the content of
OpenDocument files. This would be immensely useful as currently content is not
indexed.

NeoOffice used NeoLight in the past to solved this problem:

Steps to Reproduce:
Search for any string in a odt or ods file

Actual Results:
Spotlight will find nothing (or something else but not the OpenDocument file
with the string matching the search.

Expected Results:
OpenDocument file content should be indexed by macOS Spotlight.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Not sure what is needed so that Spotlight can index file content of Open
Document files.
