--- Comment #1 from Wolfgang Bauer <wbauer at tmo.at> ---
That's not really a bug I think.

KFind doesn't use baloo's search index (it predates baloo by far).

AFAIK, it doesn't have special support for certain file formats either, it
basically does the same as the "grep" tool, i.e. search for the text verbatim
in the file.
And as a DOCX file is compressed as ZIP, no text can be found of course.

So maybe this can be seen as enhancement request to support content search via
baloo. I have no idea if that would fit into kfind's design though.
