Searching OpenOffice.org (.sxw) files via Gnome

What can I do to allow the Gnome Search utility to search for text
in .sxw files? The utility identifies strings from .doc files but does
not manage to trawl our favourite wordprocessor's native file format...

Is this an XML issue or am I not using Search correctly?

BTW - does anyone else have a 17min interval crontab entry for
cron.hourly?
