Feature request: OCR for Search [View all]
Just something for the long-term wish list, OCR!
I've been known to waste time searching for a text phrase that I was sure was in a recent OP, only to discover (much later) that it was a meme/gif/jpg and so ofc the search engine would never find it.
I've been impressed at the advances in OCR over the last few decades. I think it would be a cool feature to automatically scan in still images and add in the OCR'd text so searches could find them 
Yeah I know. Not a top priority, but if you're looking for things to do!
