As discussed in this prior hint, I have hundreds of WordPerfect for Windows files that I periodically need to access. Unfortunately, the existing Spotlight importer for WordPerfect only imports WordPerfect for Mac files. Devon Technologies' free EasyFind can be easily configured to search WordPerfect documents (and for real Corel Office devotees, Quattro Pro spreadsheets and Paradox databases).
It won't do so by default, but if you click the light switch icon in the lower left of the EasyFind panel, a drawer will open with lists of file extensions to search. Just add the appropriate file extensions (wpd, wp [WordPerfect], wb3, wb2 [Quattro Pro], and db [Paradox]) to the list.
