from technical point of view this sounds interesting, do you have any example of such implementation for text search anywhere?
I can see multiple challenges in implementing something like this and I would like to educate myself

- Szpadel 3y agoEither I didn't understand something or this method would still require server to have way to decrypt data to create that index? Or this could be computed on client side but that's not much different than fetching all emails locally
- Xeoncross 3y agoClients already fetch all emails locally over the years you use the email. You don't have to build the index in one pass. As you read/download each new email, you add it to the index segments. The same way you don't have to download the internet to create your searchable browser history.

- eviks 3y agoYou could also have the bigger desktop client fetch everything for the purposes of building an index (and also having a backup of your email), then your smaller phone doesn't have to fetch everything
