Content search not possible in docx?

[Steffen67]

What should I do if I want to search for a specific word in a .docx file?

I have also created a filter according to the instructions from post "Search filter to search for a content".
It works perfectly on other files, only not on these docx files.
Everything just doesn't find anything.

What am I doing wrong?

There must be an IFilter which supports .docx format.
On my system its the following:
WordpadFilter.dll Wordpad DOCX Filter WordPad Search Filters 10.0.19041.746 (WinBuild.160101.0800) 10.0.19041.746 Microsoft Corporation C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\WordpadFilter.dll {698A4FFC-63A3-4E70-8F00-376AD29363FB} {3037B4CD-A40B-401B-B676-2017EE8FAFF4} 07.12.2019 11:52:00

This enables Everything to search in docx and index the content if you are runnning Everything 1.5.
The NirSoft tool can show you what iFilters you have

Works fine here.
Windows 10 Home x64 Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1082)
Everything 1.5.0.1266a (x64)

Hi Horst,

Thank you very much for your quick help.
I had already installed some filters but I was not aware that I also need one for docx.

Now it works as desired.
Thanks again.
