    Indexing does not support XLS and XLSX files on Server 2019


    I have a Server 2019 setup with about 1 TB in files and indexing is working, but it is missing the .xls and .xlsx file extensions in the indexing options, while it does included .doc and .docx. I have tried to add it manually, but that uses a plain text filter and that does not work for Excel files. I also tried installing the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, but it states that it is not supported for installation on Server 2019.Any suggestions/solutions on how I can get the Excel files indexed?

    :)
