Perform a search on encrypted values

Hi,

In one of our apps we are using the plugin “Encode Decode Encrypt Decrypt” (Encode Decode Encrypt Decrypt Plugin | Bubble)

With this plugin we are encrypting some values in our application with the AES standard. Now we want to create a field in which users are able to select one of these records, like the native Bubble ‘searchbox’. Since the data is stored as encrypted values users can not search on the decoded values. Is there a way through which users of the application get a field in which they can search records that are encrypted.

Have been thinking about this for a while but not able to get to a efficient solution just yet.
Here is an example on the ‘Relation’ table:

Relation name = Frenck Smit
Encryption key = test
Encoded value = U2FsdGVkX18ibJWdNzxGk2N8RGqo8hbFu/MU+N/2tE4=

When the users searches for ‘Frenck Smit’ he will not find this record since the encoded value is stored.

Looking forward to your guys creative ideas!
