Search can't find .docx files

I keep lots of recipes on my computer. When I search for an ingredient I want to use - say Marsala wine - I will use the Windows Explorer search feature within my "recipes" folder. If I have saved a recipe as a .pdf or .doc, the file will appear in the search results; however, if the file was saved as a .docx, it will not appear even though I know it is there. I recently started using PowerDesk and have tested the search to see what happens in that application. It finds the files, but they all show up with the same name "document.xml". The only way to tell which file is which, is to look at the path information where it will show the file's name.docx with "/word" at the end. I have started re-saving the files as Word 97-2003, but there are so many that I'd rather figure out the problem.
