ODFind — Open Document Find Tool
Based on our ODF Decrypting tools, ODFind digs through your Open Document Format (ODF) files using regular expression or substring searches. It lets you preview the documents it finds, and keep multiple search results on the screen at one time.
When ODFind encounters an encrypted document1, it queries you for its password until one that you supply succeeds in accessing the document's contents, or you decide to give up on that document. When encountering further encrypted documents, ODFind first retries all the passwords that you gave it during the current session (just in case that you've been reusing passwords2) before prompting you for a new one3.
In the interest of full disclosure, you should understand that your computer's memory is not wiped of any passwords that you have entered; and that there have been reports which claim that forensic investigations can recover data from computer memory even for a time after the computer has been powered down.

1 At this time ODFind supports only the Blowfish cipher, not AES. An update to ODFind is planned to address this shortcoming.
2 Password reuse is risky if you are really serious about security.
3 Although ODFind is not intended to help you recover passwords, its ability to prompt you again and again, in fairly quick succession, may make repeated attempts with different passwords much more convenient than alternatives.
