Windows file type index wrong on docx file

In windows 11 indexing options → Advanced options - File types The docx file type is using a plain text filter which means I can’t search my docx documents created by Libre office. I have spent HOURS searching how to change this and the only suggestion I’ve found is to “reinstall office 365” I am using Libre office, so this suggestion is a non-starter. Help?

Hmm. Why do you think it’s wrong? What is your expectation?

LibreOffice itself doesn’t include a shell extension for DOCX content indexing. If no other applications installed on your system provide that, what should be there?
