Google Begins Locking Down Search With SSL Encryption

Most of my own searching is done through ixquick because they've been using SSL for a while and they advertise that they don't even record your IP address, but this move by Google is certainly a step in the right direction for Google users.

That sounds great to me. I know Google have the occasional privacy issues, but on the whole I think they've done more harm than good. Hey, if for nothing else other than their search page is clean...Yahoo still think it's 1997!

All another step in the right direction

Ixquick has had their web searches, images, and videos under SSL for quite a while now so I figure Google won't be far behind. If they'd stop recording IP addresses I'd likely switch back to Google because their setup feels slightly faster than Ixquick's.
