All my books should be indexed. I have 20GB free. I'm running 5.15.1.1 (and don't want to update because of the horror stories.) Restarts make no difference.
Anyone have any ideas? (If so, please explain like I'm five...)

I do not understand what you mean by '3000+ listed at top of page'. The top listing is from Library (title/author metadata). That has nothing to do with content search, nor do other results except for
Text in Books.
What about in-book search, does that work?
I suppose it is possible to have so much content on Kindle that search times out. How many books you got on there?
Every single time there is an update there are people complaining here about this or that. That's what Mobileread is for (in part). There's not reason to think the latest is any worse in that respect. I am not having any issues myself. But I doubt it will solve your issue.
A newer Kindle might solve it, they are noticeably faster.
