Depending upon the uniqueness of the word you are looking for you can 
search the .ods files directly. I just found the word Creep in one of my 
files with zipgrep using;
zipgrep "Creep" "/Users/steve/Documents/file.ods"

I have seen other suggestions such as

|for file in *.ods; do if ( unzip -c "$file" | grep -q "yourWord"); then 
echo "$file" fi done|
