Q: Why doesn't Spotlight index .odt files?
Files made by OpenOffice have an extension of .odt. Unfortunately, I can't get Spotlight to find .odt files or .png images. Is there a way that I can tweak the settings somehow?
Thank you.

This might help, from the search field in a Finder window, enter : kind:odt
Select Kinds : Open Document Text
Finder should create a smart folder for your seach criteria :
You can do the same by entering : kind:p
Select Kinds : Portable Network Graphics Image

This should also work for .odp & .ods files :
