> linking to encrypted.google.com not only is not necessary but it prevents local search results from being displayed. e.g. no google.ro search results, only google.com

I can only see this as a good thing. If I want local search results, I'll add local qualifiers like "USA", "Texas", "Houston"

You could also do searches for yourself like "Stefan" and "Theard" and even type your password in like "* * * * * * * *".
