There is a tag<search-text> in a journal article data which is unstructured text provided for search functionality but not intended for print or display. Typically this text replicates the contents of a non-searchable graphic. It's under figure or table wrap. Any body had experience to tag this in JATS?Well,
JATS does not have a<search-text>  element, of course.
There are a few possibles, see below. (I want everybody to read your
example first)

Here is the example,

77 (50.7)
</search-text>
<table-wrap>


The first thing that comes to mind is to use<alternatives> inside<table-wrap>. One alternative would be the<graphic>, the second alternative would be<textual-form>.

This is one of the documented uses of<textual-form>.
To quote from the Tag Library;

Usage Search Text: The<textual-form> element can also be used to supply the text of an object for searching. In such a usage, it is not intended that the<textual-form> be displayed to the user, only that it provide a textual view of the object to a search system. This technique can allow unsearchable binary formats, such as graphics and untagged tables represented as graphics, to be represented in a form that can be searched or indexed.

So the example would look like this:

<table-wrap id="tbl1">
<label>1</label>
<caption>
<title>Demographic Characteristics by Community</title></caption>
<alternatives>
<graphic copyright="inherit" id="tbl1a" xlink:href="ort_83_4_528_tbl1a.tif" xlink:type="simple"/>
<textual-form>
n (%)/Mean (SD)
Characteristic
Sderot
Otef Aza
&#967;2/t (df)
*p&#8804; .05. **p&#8804; .01. ***p&#8804; .001.
Age
47.35 (16.58)
53.62 (15.81)
3.84 (442)***
Gender
Men
135 (45.3)
75 (49.3)
0.66
Women
163 (54.7)
77 (50.7)
</textual-form>
<alternatives>
<table-wrap>


Hope this helps.
