Does imenu have predefined search structures when calling imenu
when in some major mode ?

If you mean does imenu have search functions that it uses to
compile its index, then yes, but if you mean does imenu provide
search functions for a user to use, then no.

If I do "emacs -Q", load an elisp file and call "M-x imenu", One
gets a list of the functions present in the file. Meaning that
"imenu-generic-expression" is defined for some modes.

I think you are asking about the logic imenu uses when compiling
its index.
It will call imenu-create-index-function, which can be defined by
the major mode.
In the absence of that definition, the default is
imenu-default-create-index-function. This default function, under
*some* conditions (not all), will use imenu-generic-expression.
Similar to what I said on another thread, the model here is for
imenu to index by calling an abstraction that can be implemented
by a major mode. If the implementation is missing, it's missing.
