This isn’t possible through ProtonMail on the web or in mobile apps because the company doesn’t have the ability to read messages - but with desktop clients, searches can be carried out locally without giving access to external parties. Additionally, users can conduct full-text searches within ProtonMail, using the native search functions of the desktop client. It also opens up interesting new features, such as offline access to read your ProtonMail emails. By adding support for desktop clients, users can seamlessly switch between accounts from a single interface, while they will also be able to import emails from other service providers into ProtonMail if they’re connected to the same client.

ProtonMail Bridge is an application rather than a plugin for your desktop email client. It’s also only available to paid ProtonMail users. It’s worth noting here that ProtonMail Bridge should work through any IMAP email client however, official support is extended only to the aforementioned three applications on Windows and Mac, with Linux support coming in early 2018.
