Disable optical character recognition

Operating system

macOS

Joplin version

3.3.10

Sync target

Dropbox

What issue do you have?

Even after disabling the optical character recognition check box in preferences, I continue to see attachment search results in an ugly large yellow box that takes 1/2 of the screen.

How can this be disabled.

If it cannot be disabled, how can I move the ugly large yellow box to the very bottom of the search screen.

Me too... When it's activated one time it's impossible to deactivate it even unchecking the option, restarting JOPLIN or rebooting the commputer !

Same behavior under windows and Kubuntu...
I use now the 3.3.10 appimage version of Joplin.

Disabling OCR only disable the background processing, but what's been OCR-ed indeed remain saved to the database. Maybe we could have a separate option such as "Search in OCR text"

This would be truly fantastic @laurent, thank you very much in advance!

I'm linking to a pull request that allows decreasing the size of the search results box:
