Google SSL Search

This was available for quite a while already, though in beta/labs. I'm not sure what is new.

Yeah, it doesn't seem any different to how its been in the past year. The beta sigil is still under the logo.

I wish theyd put the links to maps and images back in, maybe with some visual warning that theyre not encrypted. I have SSL search as the default search in chrome, and I hate having to manually jump back to normal google to do image searches.

While we're here, don't forget SSL wikipedia!

If you're using the HTTPS-Everywhere Firefox addon (1), or the HTTPS-Everywhere Squid redirector (2), you don't need to know/remember about the SSL versions of Wikipedia or Google. You're just sent there by default.
