not being able to ctrl-F a textbook or have click-to-chapter links sure makes studying harder these days... and any scanning software worth it's salt will at least do the bare minimum OCR automatically...

Simple: pirate adobe acrobat and ocr them yourself.
Or OCRMyPDF https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF
I might just do that and reupload the OCR'd copy. I already have 3 or 4 books that I've saved out to cut the binding off of and scan in- gonna need OCR for that too.
In my free time, of course. University waits for no student...
