Help: Disable Indexing Kindle Voyage 5.65

For my use, the Kindle "feature" of indexing every damned word in every damned book on my device is -- to put it bluntly -- stupid. Especially when the Voyage simply refuses to index the book ... lots and lots of books. This is no matter what I try, from deleting the index to deleting the book and re-transferring it to changing the format to deleting the metadata.

There *used* to be an easy method on my older Kindles, using debug, to disable indexing using the commands in the search box

;debugOn
~disableIndexing
;debugOff

This doesn't seem to work any longer on my Voyage with fw 5.65. Has anyone gotten this to work?

doesn't seem to work, either. I guess the ability to disable indexing is yet another Amazon upgrade designed to reduce user enjoyment of their product.

Most users would have no idea about disabling indexing.

And beyond that, I'd never do it. Being able to look up a word or character is something I find very helpful at times.

One user doesn't like it, therefore it's a problem. Makes sense to me

Mount your Kindle Voyage as USB unit on your PC/laptop. Go to the system folder. Remove the Search Indexes folder. Create instead a file with the same name (Search Indexes) and absolutely no extension. Unmount and reboot the Kindle. That's it.
