I run paperless-ngx in a docker container. Have it scan my email for attachments once a day. It automatically tags the email depending on keywords found in the email and sender.
If I scan a document to import I tag it manually.
But paperless-ngx also has ocr, so it will scan the whole page and save that data. So I can search for example 'samsung' and it will show me all documents where Samsung is in. Even if it is not tagged.

The .en file you can find on there GitHub. But the over important part is to setup a language for it.
# The default language to use for OCR. Set this to the language most of your
# documents are written in.
