Post Google Search is going secure

Google search is currently in the process of rolling out SSL. This is is an interesting development that will essentially hide usage information, such as the referrer string. If you're in the world of web analytics or marketing and you like to know what keyword searches are driving your business, you're out of luck. Analytics software will not be able to see which keywords were typed when originating from the https search version.*

It's rumoured that China may be part of the motivation for the switch, as this will prevent filtering of certain keyword searches as well as the ability to packet sniff the usage of google. The switch hasn't rolled out in Hong Kong yet, but you can safely assume it won't be too far away!
