Description

**Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.**

Since we can not use Jitsi Screen Sharing from the Electron App I was thinking of PWA as an alternative and the main thing missing there is searching encrypted messages.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
What are the plans for this?
Is it possible to enable somehow even though it will hurt security?
I understood deleted messages might also be affected from this or is this solved already?

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Electron App

**Additional context**
This would be nice to have as a config in general, done people would like to search their encrypted messages on web as well, should definitely not be a default but would be nice as a possibility
