You can still search the books by titles. I don't really care for text searching on my kindle. If I ever need to search for a specific text on a given book I just use calibre.
Also, after a couple of months my kindle had only indexed a hundred and so books, so it would still be indexing stuff by the end of its lifetime. Not worth it. I really think amazon should look into this issue as its a known problem regarding battery usage. I even contacted amazon customer support about it and they seem to know it as well. I was even told that calibre could damage my kindle (?!?!?!), and with the new firmware there is a message about battery drainage after offloading a bunch of books. Book indexing should be optional or done only on the book beeing used.
