I recently downloaded and installed 6.6.5 (Build 3926) to evaluate it. The main reason for downloading this version was to support external USB drives. Everything appears to work really well except that when I do a search for numbers I do not get any results for Excel 2003 .xls files.
I checked the FAQs and confirmed I have offfilt.dll in C:\Windows\System32 (Version 2006.0.5730.0). To test this I created a number of small .xls files each containing specific numerical data in a cell (the number 567890) which I formatted as general in one file, as a number in another, as text in another, etc. Checked that the files were indexed and ran a search for "567890". Nothing resulted. I then added the word "Turnip" to another cell in each of the files and ran a search on "Turnip" with gave the correct results. I then added "Parsnip 567890" to another cell and this time a search for "567890" gave a positive result.
Is this an undocumented feature?
