Cannot search new office files (docx, xlsx, etc)

I am trying to use the find files capability to search files for a particular text string. Unfortunately this seems unable to search within the new Microsoft document formats such as *.docx, *.xlsx etc.

I can find the text in the old MS office format documents, but not the new.

Is there some configuration option I have missed? Or is XYplorer simply not able to search through the new format?

Using XYplorer 18.30 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
