For "Live Text" in macOS Monterey, can you have it scan all of your photos, and use the Live Text OCR'd content to search against in Spotlight Search?

MacOS Monterey includes "Live Text", which is OCR to use when viewing your photos, including handwriting recognition.
But I have thousands of photos, many of which are photos of presentations, pictures of PowerPoint slides taken from my seat in the audience, etc. I also have hundreds of screenshots with text from YouTube.
I'd like the Mac to slowly work its way through *all* of my photos and add the recognized text as some type of searchable attribute, attached to each photo.
So can I have Live Text OCR my entire Photo Library?
