Google Offers Encrypted SSL Searches [Security]

From the Somehow We Missed Covering This Dept.: Search giant Google announced late last week that users who head to https://google.com (note the extra "s") can now make a secure connection to Google for their searches, which Google says "helps protect your search terms and your search results pages from being intercepted by a third party on your network." You'll see a modified logo (pictured at left), won't see the usual links to non-SSL-encrypted services like Images and Maps, and might get a slightly slower experience. We mentioned Google's SSL offering in a Tips Box tip for setting up Chrome with an encrypted search, but thought Google's secure new offering deserved its own (belated) mention.
