SSL also prevents webmasters from tracking the keywords used by the searchers, since the referrer is blank.

This can be a useful privacy feature, in addition to the encryption.

It's quickly becoming my favorite engine. I actually get pretty good results from it. The addition of SSL only makes it better.
