Ah, read more closely... You are asking about creating search indices
for DOWNLOAD.

There is no good answer to this.  We don't officially support
downloadable search indicies.  Some frontends have chosen to support
this on their own and they each have their own methods of doing such. 
My preference would be for them to discontinue this practice and create
the search indices on demand on the user device, as all other frontend
do.  I understand the reasoning behind having these available for
download when creating the search indices on older mobile devices 10
years ago wasn't the speediest operation, but now it likely will take
less time than downloading on many mobile networks.

So, in summary, what I described previously (below) will create the
search index for a module.  Where it's placed for some mobile apps to
able to download varies and at least one mobile app requires it to be in
a subfolder on crosswire.org-- not in your own download repo.
