Dunno what started it, but all sorted now. I think it does happen infrequently, but it's the inconvenience of suddenly finding it flat!

If a user option could be in the settings menu for 'don't reindex' or 'reindex manually only' - that would save that hassle from ever happening.
It will generally re-index your content after every firmware update. Maybe that's what happened in your case.

There is actually a hack that lets you temporarily disable indexing by typing stuff in at the Home screen (there's a thread here or on Kindle Developer's corner about doing this somewhere). But you would not want to have that in effect all of the time, as you would not want to lose Find or dictionary lookup (or maybe not in your case).

Obviously the less content you have on your Kindle, the less time it takes to reindex when that needs to occur (PDFs don't count, as they are not indexed). So apply updates when reindexing is not going to inconvenience you.
