Question for those who know a lot more about this than me

So lets say you have a DB of patient records and you wanted to search say family history for a specific condition, say heart attacks.

Would you supply the encrypted dataset and then encrypted form search criteria?

The 'engine' would search for that encrypted form search criteria in the encrypted dataset and somehow return the results?
