(Archived) Please clarify how AIR search works

[billbennett 0]

I've loaded a scanned document into my Evernote 3 database. It's mainly typed text. The type is very clear. The words are all readable. I reindexed the document. When I search for words in this document, they do not show up.

It appears the AIR technology can read some handwriting and words in photographic images but not scanned text documents. Is this expected behaviour or am I missing something important here?

In general, scanned typewritten text should result in relatively high quality text recognition, but there are a million variables involved in image files that can occasionally throw things off. Would you be willing to send us a copy of the image for testing?
