Use optical character recognition to search through images in addition to text messages so you can find images with text faster.

This is certainly an interesting idea. Windows does include an OCR API that is, as far as I know, fairly easy to use. However, keep in mind that search is not something that I control. We would only be able to search in results that have already loaded. How do you propose this would work? What would the interface be like? Keep in mind that we cannot just ask the API to search in images, nor can we automate search pagination.
