Question about indexing on basic e-reader

I've noticed that my books and other documents, mainly long magazine articles, are indexed on a delayed schedule. I've been unable to figure out what determines how quickly they are indexed and what factors determine when they are indexed.

Almost all my books are side-loaded, and all my online news and magazine stories are downloaded via "Send to Kindle." I have the basic Touch e-reader released last fall for $79. I still don't know what it's called here. Please don't hijack this thread as happened in an earlier thread of mine with a barely civil dispute about correct terminology. The firmware is 5.6.1.0.2.

Does indexing only occur when the screensaver is on? Does WiFi being off affect indexing? Is there something one can do to force or expedite indexing of an item? Why might one document be indexed quickly while another will still remain unindexed after a day or maybe even longer?

Thanks in advance for any replies to any of these queries.
