Is this really on the roadmap? I understand not being able to deliver OCR functionality from a scanned image right now, but when a user has a searchable PDF already, Box should be able to index the contents to be searchable within the portal. Please advise on the status of this feature.

How are you OCR'ing the PDFS? For years we have had no issues searching on OCR'd PDFS. Whether we create them through our scanners or through Acrobat, they are always searchable. The only caveat is that not every OCR scan is clean. If the text is skewed or misproportioned, the OCR'd PDF library layer can be missing words or have incorrect text.

I would like to expand on this beyond just PDF and include TIFF files as well

Box should be able to have OCR capabilities either natively or through an integration to be able to make all PDF documents full text searchable.

I'd like to be able to use search to search over the contents of scanned PDFs
