I have many DJVU files with OCR in one folder. What should be done or how can I search for words in these files through the search field in the folder (top left)? There is a reference to the DjVuOCR plugin for Windows by Vladimir Levenshtein on the internet, but I cannot find it anywhere. Converting 798 DJVU files to PDF with working OCR is not feasible. Thanks for the help.

Look at the file extension and make sure in Indexing Properties, that Windows Search properties includes Content (it may not by default).
Then if you change you may need to rebuild your Index.
However, once done, if Windows finds the content, it will list all the files with that word.
I have done this for other Indexed Content and it works fine.
Control Panel, Indexing Options, Advanced, File Types and check your Extension for the Content Setting.
Windows Search works best if these files are in one main folder, so that you do not have to search your entire drive.
Windows Search has evolved and is very good in Windows 10 and really good in Windows 11.
Upon following all the suggestions here, you find that Windows Search cannot find content in the OCR files, then you may need a 3rd party search tool
Please see:
In this list, I have here and use occasionally Ultra Search (From Jam Software, the makers of Tree Size). Search My Files (Nirsoft) may be useful as well (I use Nirsoft Utilities but not that one).

Finally, if none of the suggestions for the file type you have do not work, you will very most likely have to identify the files manually.
