Right, I do understand that with some setup involved, there are ways to search against encrypted messages but simply being given a brand new chunk of encrypted data with no prior knowledge of the contents would be impossible for anyone to index other than the recipient using the key. There would definitely be a way for the client-side to automatically download an encrypted email, decrypt it, index it, and keep an index database using whatever method while simultaneously keeping the originally encrypted email secure on the server.
