The latest version of the Microsoft Photos app for Windows 10 now supports a feature which has been available for OneDrive for some time now.

The app will now let you search for text which has been decoded from pictures you have taken via Optical Character Recognition, which is particularly useful if you use your camera as a quick way of taking notes.

The feature is reportedly not available to everyone yet, but should be rolling out to all shortly.
