Hello, Brandon recommended me posting this problem I noticed in the WDS 3 RTW.
Basically the WDS 3 RTW, and (Beta 2) cant index the contents of Excell new format (.xlsx), if the excell contains a ODBC (SQL database) connection.
The easy way to reproduce is to, create a new .xlsx file using Office 2007 B2TR, create a ODBC SQL connection to any database/table that you have access to. Save the file and wait for index, it will index the filename but never its content.
With the WDS 2.6.5 this problem doenst happen.

Marcus

Hi Marcus and Nathan,
Can you send your files (.xlsx and .vb) to me if you don't have any confidential data in there please I can't seems to repro this with the 3.0 RTW build. See my profile for where to email it to.
Thanks,

I'll add to this that other extensions appear to not get their contents indexed.
It would be my .vb files that I'm specifically referring to. I went so far as to make sure the path was included, that the folder's properties has it allowed to be indexed, and also checked WDS File Types and set that file type and others to have it's contents indexed.
I tried searching for a phrase and thought maybe it wouldn't cut it because it had a period or underscore, but I went ahead and chose something unique like the namespace which was all characters and no files were found.

Marcus,
Ack! - this problem was reported while we were in beta. A bug was filed (and fixed) in a pre-release build. It must have broken again in a later build and made its way to RTW.
Thanks for your feedback. I'll re-open the bug to make sure it is addressed in our next version (or a fix if one is deemed necessary).
