Oh ! sure, but xlsx etc. is not either - that combo box is just out of
date. You can google for 'filetype:odt' easily enough.

It's an easy ask at our next AB meeting - however, please realise that
Jeremy is in a very, very distant appendage of the giant beast that is
Google from the people maintaining that search page - so the likelihood
of success is rather low. Having said that - we can drop a mail to him
easily enough.

We could market our ability to encourage Google to do XZY thing ? that
doesn't sound like a great idea to me FWIW - Jeremy would poke someone
to have it fixed as a friend - I don't think a "formal request / big
deal" would do us any favours there.
So - what do you want; results or PR ? if results, I can poke Jeremy,
if PR - we need to do it a different way I think.
ATB,
Michael.
