Bug: If we search in a document, Qiqqa does not warn that x pages are excluded from the search because they are not OCRed. #168

Qiqqa treats the OCR function casually, which proceeds in its own time. Sometimes it stops altogether, and unless we kickstart it manually, it won't start on its own.

In the meantime, if we search that document, Qiqqa will skip pages that are not OCRed. The problem is that we do not even come to know that x pages were skipped during the search because the OCR task was not completed.

Logically, Qiqqa should let the user know that x pages are yet to be OCRed. Do you want to finish the OCR first or proceed with the search?

Let the user take a call.

If he wants to search the whole document, then Qiqqa must first finish the OCR of the remaining pages, and then launch the search.
