I have a lot of documents in Microsoft Publisher (.pub) files and they are not showing up when I search for Documents. I have to search "Everything" and then sort through so many things.
Please add the .pub to the "documents" searches

Re: Recognize Microsoft Publisher Documents as "Documents"
You can also whittle down your search results to certain file types without ever specifying a Filter. Just add more refinements to your search query.
Examples:
*.pub
ext:pub
tps reports .pub
ext:pub tps reports
*tps*reports*.pub
etc
Examples:
*.pub
ext:pub
tps reports .pub
ext:pub tps reports
*tps*reports*.pub
etc

Thank you for the tip that it is easily possible to customize the filters!
It would be nice if the OpenOffice/LibreOffice file formats were also included as documents by default.
