Noob question

Well, not really a noob to linux or programming (by any means), but a noob to the Kindle internals.

Is the application that's responsible for indexing books (for text searches) easily isolated? I mean--can it be pointed at and said that "that's the little bugger right there!"? If so, is it a linux C-type binary, or is it part of the Java infrastructure? What specific file would be the "meat and potatoes" of the indexing process, if any? The part that actually accesses the book's text is what I'm after.

Thanks in advance to any who may be willing to indulge me.
