I tried searching for this but I must not know the magic words!

On my iphone the native text search of images is automatic, and fast. It's probably selling all of my data (presumably to some company that wants a bunch of serial numbers from old motors?) but that's an issue for future me. I want to find a web-accessible server that can search the text in all of these images, return a preview, and the image. As long as I'm wishcasting, the iphone auto-highlights the text in question in the image so that would be nice.

Like any sane person I have 3 terabytes of scanned documents, receipts, diagrams, books, the usual. I haven't see a PhotoStructure feature (or plugin?) that does what I need. I've been looking at various tesseract gui's but I'm not finding anything that quite fits the bill of the above features, and that the scanning functionality runs *only* locally, for sure, no tricks.

I see that OneNote has some of this but I don't exactly trust Office not to upload all of my images to OneDrive, and I didn't see a web accessible front end.

I'm willing to go through some trouble to make it work and if I absolutely have to code some dang thing I can write it in Golang, so if there are libraries that could help with this I'd love suggestions.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
