Unable to Search Within Books
I have a new, latest gen Paperwhite and I am unable to search for text within any books. I highlight a word in the book and choose Search and it comes up with zero results. I've tried searching for "The" and it finds zero results. I have tried with multiple books and all tell me zero results for known words. I have tried side loaded books as well as purchased Kindle books. I have reset the device but still no search. The books I assume are indexed as I don't get the "not yet indexed" warning that I do on some of the books.
Firmware: 5.16.9 |

Solved (somewhat)
Resetting the device did not make a difference. I had to factory reset the device before it would start searching again. What a pain! |

Kindles do not have factory reset. There is reset, which removes all user settings, content, and associated databases. And there is restart, which is a reboot.

None of my kindles has that. (Highest firmware version 5.16.1) I guess amazon wanted to increase confusion even more.
