Yep, that's all an Index is doing.
And yes, it could search relays instead of the index server. It needs to know which relays to search. It's not highly efficient. I search across 100 relays, I may get 100 results back, and I have to parse through all those results, combine them, and remove any duplicates. It's all doable, but it introduces another set of problems.
