Since the data is encrypted at rest, then search within Proton is basically nerfed. It does work, but it's slow as I imagine it's having to download each email to search within it locally. Not sure if there's a good solution for that problem. I still use Proton because I value my privacy and can live with slow searches.
- contravariant 5y agoYou just need to encrypt the search index alongside the emails. There are databases that have solved this problem. The hacker's solution would be to put sqlite inside a truecrypt volume I suppose. Edit: mount it over sshfs if you need end-to-end encryption. And pray that truecrypt and sqlite have optimized their read/write operations well enough.
