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 faster.

I mean that when I searched for the word I was looking for - dreamed - the Text in Books had over 3000 results. When I go to check out the search results, the very top of the page says Text in Books (3237 items).

In-book search works perfectly.

I have roughly 3500 books on my kindle. But since they're not using even half the space available, I don't think that should be too many.

True, but it seems like every time I let my kindle update, something changes that I don't want changed - I've hated all the UI updates, for example. I'll try it if I have to, but it's going to be my last option.

Buying a new kindle isn't an option right now, alas.
