You can have your email downloaded locally and then you can search through it. With PGP you can still search by metadata anyway.

Sure, and only half-break the search function. Do you expect the gmail developers to like that?

Maybe it's a good idea. Or not. But it sounds a lot easier to set up your own server than to persuade the gmail developers to change the core priorities of their system.

Metadata: if it's good enough for the NSA it should be good enough for you! </s>
