Office 365 Update: Improved search in OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online

We’re updating Photo intelligence (Auto tagging, OCR) and meta data. We’ll begin rolling this feature out in the next few days.

This message is associated with Office 365 Roadmap ID: 16627.

How does this affect me?
Building on previous releases to automatically detect the types of images uploaded to OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online (e.g. a receipt or whiteboard), you will now be able to be search using location data (if found) and text extracted automatically from the image.

The rollout will be completed by the end of the calendar year. We continue to develop more image intelligence features and look forward to bringing you even more functionality.
