I don't want to be that guy, but technically they said they are using traditional indexes like Google, not that they are in fact using Google. But I guess that is splitting hairs.Also, maybe they just dropped Google from their indexes? And what's more: Why does it matter if they are using Google at all, when the results are satisfying?
Knowing which indexes they are using exactly would be nice to know, though.
You're right, I forgot about the on-the-fly transcoding abilities of Jellyfin for a moment. But still, the server should be able to handle whatever codec they choose in hardware.
Keep in mind at least your server should be able to decode whatever you choose in hardware, so AV1 might still not be a good idea depending on your current hardware and upgrade plans.
If you need E2EE there's only Matrix. I wish it wasn't the only option, but it is. For setting up rooms and so on you can use their Spaces feature, I think.
Shit, this kinda screws with my plans to use the A380 as a transcoding card for my server.
