The page you linked to is for "Google Search over SSL" and is not the same thing.

Searches performed at encrypted.google.com (not just google.com with SSL) were not available in any user-facing capacity in one's Google account. It did not store the search queries in user-facing history, and did not use those terms for future search suggestions.

That's curious. I can't find any statement from Google saying that this was intended, though; seems more an oversight than a feature.
