encryption of specific columns

Hello,

I've read the 10.x handbook, chapter 18.8. about the various encryption
options. One question remains: If I encrypt a column, for example the
birthdate of PII data, is this still searchable with

SELECT * FROM table WHERE birthdate = 07.12.1955;

Thanks

matthias
