Search feature broken on PW
I suddenly can no longer search for terms within books on my PW. It was working fine and then stopped. Has this happened to anyone else recently? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Have you tried restarting the PW? That might clear it. Also have you tried several different books? It could be that some books just don't interact with the search function.

Yes to both. I think it's stuck on indexing a book I can't see. Very frustrating.

It's just like Windows 7.

The PW is not indexing anything and I still can't search within books unless I redownload them.

I was wondering if it could be related to Calibre.

There are several books that it won't see even though the Kindle says they've been downloaded.

If I were me, I would do a factory reset. Especially if facing the possibility of having to delete all the books anyway.
