This is really neat. Recently I explored similar functionality for relational databases and only got as far as implementing column-level encryption [0] in this Go library [1], but without support for querying the encrypted data. HashiCorp Vault's transit secrets engine supports Convergent Encryption [2] which provides limited ability to query the encrypted data, but I haven't yet experimented with it. If anyone is doing something like this in production, would love to hear about your experience.

The MuchPIR project (https://github.com/ReverseControl/MuchPIR) implements Information-Theoretic Private Information Retrieval (IT-PIR) in Postgresql; In addition to the demo there is a high performance version available for commercial use.
