Open Office Writer Open File Search function - doesn't seem to find anything

Asked by mgump9 in StarOffice Write Word Processing Software, Ubuntu

Tags: OpenOffice Search Open filename

I am using OpenOffice 3.0 on an Ubuntu 9.04 system.  When I select the Open entry on the File menu in the Writer program, there is a "Search" entry at the top of the "Places" left side column in the window.  If I select that "Search"entry a field is displayed at the top of the window that looks like I can enter a text string to search for files that contain the text string.  After entering a word that I know can be found in several of the files in the Documents folder and hitting the keyboard Enter key, nothing happens.  I figure a list of filenames that contain the text string I entered would be displayed somewhere.

Am I using the function incorrectly or is there a bug?

Thanks.
