Inside Search
The official Google Search blog
Bringing more secure search around the globe
March 5, 2012
Several months ago we made a change to our default search experience on
google.com
— when you’re signed into Google, we
add SSL encryption
to increase the privacy and security of your web searches. The change
encrypts your search queries
and our search results page, which is particularly important when you’re using an open, unsecured Internet connection.
We’re now ready to expand this protection, so over the next few weeks we will begin introducing SSL search beyond
google.com
to our local domains around the globe. As before, we hope that these efforts to expand the use of SSL encryption in our services motivate other companies to adopt SSL more broadly.
