another amazing thing they do is OCR for images and pdf files in email attachments, so if you search for a word that appears as a image in gmail, it will find that attachment.

I don’t think it searches in images, only PDF files, and for PDF I don’t think you need OCR technology for that, the same way you can edit a PDF file with acrobat pro

@Chocolate I have experienced it scanning images and pdf files that are not text based (scans).
