Hi,

I put the lines <mimeType name="application/x-excel">
<plugin id="parse-tika" />
<plugin id="feed" />
</mimeType>

in parse-plugins.xml, but I still can't crawl xls files. Why is that?

Regards,

There is absolutely no requirement to add this configuration to this file.
If you you look at the XML file in question, one of the first XML
configuration blocks says

<!--  by default if the mimeType is set to *, or
        if it can't be determined, use parse-tika -->
<mimeType name="*">
 <plugin id="parse-tika" />
</mimeType>

Just remove your unnecessary config and Tika will do the work for you :0)

I put that in because I noticed it wasn't crawled. After I put that in,
it wasn't crawled either.

My colleague has just made me realize something. Is it possible that
this xls file wasn't crawled because there isn't a link to it within the
website?

 You can inspect the CrawlDB with the readdb tool, check if it's there.
