Feature: Image searching using OCR

[brog-io]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

It'd be really useful if Files could OCR all images on your computer. It'd make all the screenshots I take very easy to find.

Thanks for the feedback.

Adding OCR to scan all your image files would indeed be a fantastic feature. However, I'm not so sure this is feasible for us to implement on our own. Microsoft is reportedly planning to introduce similar functionality in Windows, so it might be best to revisit this idea once we have more clarity on their plans.
