Image Rotator Powertoy question

On the New Powertoy, "Image Rotator":

If I "print to onenote", sometimes a single page is landscape when all the
others are portrait. These all come through either as landscape or
portrait. The "image rotator" allows me to correct those.

The problem: The OCR scanned this page on the initial import but isn't
intelligent enough to rotate a page. Can I re-employ the OCR engine on the
single page that I rotated and have it "redo" the text read at this point?

I'll add: The text is already "searchable" but since the OCR tried read the
page sideways, the text is garbage. I need to "redo" the OCR scan and
discard the original text. Thank you.

The short answer is no - if you rotate an image with text, it can't be
searched anymore.

If the index hasn't been built, then the new image is just an image, and
there probably won't be any recognizable text in it.

If the index has been built, the (x,y) coordinates used to highlight the
search results will be out of sync with the image.

It's just a limitation of the toy.
