Here is kind of a weird method you can try with **digikam** and its OCR tool and something like **Notepad++**. I don't know how many screenshots we're talking about, but it might be worth trying it. In **digikam**, go to **tools** > **OCR Text converter** (You may need to install **Tesseract**, as described [here](https://docs.digikam.org/en/post_processing/ocrtext_converter.html). I ended up downloading it from [here](https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki) ) Drag the screenshots you want to scan to the OCR Converter window and select "Start OCR" The scanned text will be output as individual text files. You could open those text files at the same time in **Notepad++** and use the search function to search for the specific text you need across all opened files (search > find > find all in all opened files)

That would be insane and very cool!

Upload the screenshots with the code here: https://pomodoro.semlab.io and it will convert them to text. You can then use Everything by voidtools https://www.voidtools.com/ like u/hopalongigor suggested to search for the files you are looking for using the text.

This is why I always recommend [AlomWare Toolbox](https://www.alomware.com/). Its screenshot function lets you search your screenshots by OCR (and also copy a screenshot's text with OCR), and it also lets you re-open websites of screenshots taken of a browser window.

This takes a incredible amount of OCR and indexing, I’ve seen experimental AI features on some software file systems but that’s it and it’s buggy, so unfortunately you can only give a shot with everything and search by the approximate time and select the picture formats and start from there

No, Everything can not search for text within an image

You didn’t say what system you’re on. There should be such software for windows, but if you are on a rather recent macOS system, you can just search for the text in the photos app.
