I'm looking for a way to search through a collection of 43,000 photos for specific text, like "good morning," and automatically delete the ones that contain it. Is there any software available that can help automate this process?

Google Photos has some pretty advanced features that could help you with this! You might want to check if they support searching by text.
You might want to check out OCR software, which is great for extracting text from images. Many home office scanners come with some OCR tools, and there are also open-source options if you're into that. They help turn images into text documents, which could make it easier to identify and sort your photos, although you'll need to figure out the automation part especially with such a large number of images.
Have you tried using Immich? It might have features that can help with your search for specific text in images.
I get the general idea, but I'm a bit lost on how to actually automate this with 43,000 images to go through.
