Text in Books may show no results, depending on the search term used, but it is always there.
These options only come up on the results page, not in the search page. When initially searching (just after touching the magnifying glass) I just get a box at the top of which is a faded "Search Everywhere" which is where the search terms go, underneath this is a list of recent searches I've done. At the bottom of the 'page' there's the keyboard, but no specific search types.

After tapping "Search Everywhere" I'm sent to a page where there's 'My Items' (greyed out) covered by a banner saying "There are no results". Below this is a greyed out 'Kindle Store' (but I'm always in airplane mode) covered by the same banner.
Under this there's a list:
Goodreads
Text in Books (grey)
Dictionary
Wikipedia (I can't access this because no wifi)

Perhaps, if a book were still indexing, there would be something under Text in Books.
On the older firmware, there was a drop down option to search "All Text" which was simpler to use to check for indexing. Not sure how it's done now.

I don't want to update the firmware because the version I have does everything I want it to, apart from a simple indexing check.
