In Onenote, how do I 'make text in image searchable' enabled by default?

OneNote has a great OCR feature where you can select an image and click make text in image searchable.

But I'd like this enabled by default for all images I paste into OneNote - is this possible? (currently it seems hit and miss - I often have to right click on each images I want made searchable)

It is enabled by default. Check under Options to make sure:

FileOptionsAdvancedDisable text recognition in pictures.

It does, however, take time to do. It is done by a background task so it can take a while.
