Thought this was an April Fools joke - please tell me it is! That UI looks exactly like a phishing email. And then to make users login once they click it? Exactly like a phishing email.

Google have a history of releasing products on april 1st, gmail itself was right?

> When the recipient is a Gmail user (enterprise or personal), Gmail sends an E2EE email. The email is automatically decrypted in the recipient's inbox, and the recipient can use Gmail in a familiar way. So what happens with Search?

ProtonMail downloads the whole mailbox to browser storage to support fulltext search.

Here's a better one: Breaking: Gmail starts using the whitelabel version of Tuta Mail so that 2.5 billion users will get automatic encryption.

Random unpolished idea: a (local) search engine that runs when seeing the email and stores the keywords encrypted in its index.. So if you're looking for "Nigerian prince" it will look up "Avtrevna cevapr" and return references to the emails containing that term.

Is that an April fools joke? Proper encryption suites don't produce something that looks like a Caesar cipher, it's just a solid block of seemingly random data. You can't really index something like the words inside an email unless you first decrypt it.
