Firstly, you need to know how to check if the Kindle is currently busy indexing books. To do this, tap the “search” box from the library screen, and enter a nonsense search string. When the results screen appears (which will show zero matches if you’ve entered a random nonsense search string) if “Text in Books” is highlighted, tap it, and it will say “NNN books not yet indexed” (should that be the case). Tap that line, and it’ll show you what the books are.

@HarryT: This behavior has changed somewhat in the months since you posted the OP. In 5.9.6.1, if searching for random nonsense such as "fgtt", search shows "There are no results found in your library or the store". If you select "Search Everywhere for "fgtt", a new search screen will load. "Text in Books (0)" is grayed out.
However, if you search for a real word likely to be found, then select "Search Everywhere…", "Text in Books (NNN)" is selectable. Select it, and the books featuring your word will be displayed, and the end of the search shows "NNN books not yet indexed". Then it behaves as you indicated.
Cheers!
