End-to-end encrypting all searches so that even the server can’t see the query in plaintext for more than a few milliseconds.

HTTPS still exposes plaintext on the server side

Even logless systems can leak via crash dumps or debug traces

True privacy means not being able to read the user’s query even if someone asked

The idea is to push more crypto to the browser:

Generate an encryption key locally

Encrypt the query before it leaves the device

Decrypt only inside a short-lived memory sandbox on the server

Destroy the key and plaintext after the API call

Possibly add an optional “encrypted search history vault” that only the user can unlock

I know this won’t make Huipla a perfect E2EE system (meta search engines still need to forward queries), but I’m trying to see how far privacy can realistically be pushed.

If you’ve worked on:

client-side crypto

encrypted tunnels

ephemeral key systems

privacy architecture

…I’d really appreciate guidance.
