Weird, I'm getting same results in my dev tenant. Did you try the same in a non-dev tenant? (I'll try it later).

that's pretty weird. I've also tested the same with a Word document (just in case is related with the file type), but wasn't indexed either.
I'd suggest that you open a support case with MS. As far as I know, it should crawl the attachments too.- Akhilesh NirapureMar 09, 2017Copper Contributor
Indeed opened support case with MS, looking forward what they have to say, it works for on-premise for sure. Looks like its global impact. Searching in attachment is not something people really do often and hence i think no body complained.

I tried on atleast 3 different dev tenant and one Production tenant, it doesn't work anywhere. It works on On-Premise 2013 however.
Luis Mañez same result means you get the keyword/text appear in search or not?
