When you search on https://www.google.com, an encrypted connection is created between your browser and Google. This secured channel helps protect your search terms and your search results pages from being intercepted by a third party on your network. The service includes a modified logo to help indicate that you’re searching using SSL and that you may encounter a somewhat different Google search experience, but as always, remember to check the start of the address bar for “https” and your browser lock indicators:

I guess that's good, but is that really a problem in most countries?

It sounds like something being developed for countries like China and Iran.

I am heartily glad of it; I don't want my boss to know I search for goat pics when I should be auditing expense accounts.

So in other words, that would really get his goat. ;D
