Can we PLEASE get OCR support for images & image-based PDFs?

Currently, Image-based PDFs and Screenshots / inserted images are not searchable.
They're basically dead content. Which is kinda frustrating because a lot of study material is literally scans or screenshots. It would be a huge upgrade if GoodNotes could run OCR on imported PDFs that don’t have it and detect text inside inserted images. Knowledge should be retrievable and searchable. Perhaps we could extend the Ai features already implemented to improve the search experience. Having to process files elsewhere just to bring them back into GoodNotes breaks the whole flow. Feels like this is one of those features that would instantly improve daily use for a lot of people. Anyone else annoyed by this or found a decent workaround?
