It’s already been mentioned that “Queryable Encryption was designed by MongoDB’s Advanced Cryptography Research Group, headed by Seny Kamara and Tarik Moataz" - are you calling bullshit on their work? What are your qualifications?

So long as whatever system they designed has not been published and reviewed by independent experts, then yes. I don't have to be an expert in this space to recognize what the norms are for making new production ready cryptosystems are, and that this doesn't remotely meet them.

Designing secure cryptosystems is hard. Experts fail at it all the time. The lack of technical details is a major red flag.

Not to mention the distinct possibility that even if this group made a secure system, the mongodb marketing dept may very well be misrepresenting its security/limitations.
