I don't understand this. This is a REALLY important issue for Xara.
Are you saying:
1. That Microsoft are at fault for only allowing their search utilities to do text search through THEIR OWN file formats/encoding system?(e.g. msExcel, msWord, msPowerPoint, msOutlook etc). OR
2. Are you saying that the search utility companies are at fault for not using Xara's file format? OR
3. Are you saying that Xara is at fault for not publishing their file format?
The bottom line is that IMHO, Xara as no hope of ever getting out of "1st gear" and getting anything approaching wide-scale adoption until such time as it is their files are searchable. Why would you leave any content in Xara if you can't search for and find it afterwards?

PS If you are saying "1." them Xara (and similar companies?) should sue the hell out of Microsoft, because they are in a near monopoly position and using their dominant position as operating system developer to favouring their own applications.
