Today is the first time I heard of Homomorphic Encryption so I have 0 knowledge about this. But just to show this is not magic, you can provide N*N number of lists where each list has totally different results and then get the max index for each list as a return. Since you know what original list was the right one, you can keep that result and discard rest

Not sure I'm following you. Would you transmit in plain text N-1 random lists along with the real one? I would not consider that encryption.

I guess one brute force way to do it is making encryption unnecessary. For an input of N bits, have the results calculated/returned for all 2^N possibilities. Does not sound very practical.
