Greg:
Yeah I had seen offilt.dll there when I was playing around a couple weeks ago. And I already had *.* in my file types list. But in the interests of research:
I just deleted my whole index, copied some test files to a previously un-indexed drive, set my file types list to XLS only, and set x1 to index just that directory.
If you search for the directory, then all the files come up. If I add the "Indexing Status" column, it lists all the XLS files as "IFilter OK", but with just the same result, cannot find numbers in XLS files formatted as numbers
My offilt.dll is 192,000 bytes, v2006.0.5730.0, modified a month ago
(I think I went on an FTP crawl to try and find some more recent versions, but never got it working)
Does this work for you?

That first screen shot looks a lot more comprehensive that what I have with WDS in XP!
Mine looks like playschool:
