I imagine a decentralized search service for a particular set of search queries that users want privacy against.

it leverages Additive and Multiplicative Homomorphic Encryption with Elliptic Curves. I wanted a fuzzy searching algorithm so went with a minhash implementation on document bigram vectors which were then converted to a locality sensitive hash.

Unfortunately, it is an interactive protocol unlike something like zksnark/starks :(

I have written it in Javascript and plan to deploy it as a plugin in Brave Browser. Sundar really disappointed me recently with his rhetoric; he claims googles pursuit for information accessibility but also want to censor and allow authoritarian governments to profile users.

This would also allow location services without revealing your location
