Here's a quick method for converting some scanned PDF files to searchable PDF files - and save some space too.
The example here is the Funvision BASIC Reference, 91-0129-02.pdf.
Searching for JOY gives the standard "No matches were found error"
A quick fix is to run the PDF through ocrmypdf with the --redo-ocr switch.
This gives a new PDF 100k smaller with search!
Only takes a minute or two and it's free
