The Kindle's search is across all
content for ebooks, except for PDFs where it is across the metadata only. That is why the Kindle slows down when lots of ebooks are added - each one is indexed at that point. Indexing metadata would take no time at all. From the K3 manual:

Searching All Your Content
You can alternatively search all the reading material that you have stored on Kindle, including books, newspapers, magazines, and other items. You enter your search term or phrase and Kindle searches in the body of the text, in the metadata (for example, the title or author), and in your "My Clippings" file. For PDFs, Kindle searches for the term in the metadata only (author's name and file name). Additionally, Kindle also keeps and searches the metadata for the content you have stored on Amazon.
