Not to mention that Plus! needs to send the password to the server for that.

Oh, c'mon, that's the best you got?
It _is_ a very big issue.
Imagine you have 50MB worth of logs on the server. And all that needs to be decrypted everytime you search or update a log. Now multiply that by a few million (users).
Not to mention, again, Plus! would need to send your password to the servers. And seeing people already complain and mistrusting the current logging system (for no valid reason imo) I can only imagine what they would say when their pwd is send to it.

How about encryption on client side then?
Same issue about the server strain will exist though. In fact, if logs would not be cached locally, you would have even more server strain because now the whole 50MB worth of encrypted logs needs to be downloaded before even a search can start.
Unless of course they disable searching encrypted online logs. But even still, server strain is and will be a big issue with stuff like this.
