Last week Google launched https://google.com, note the “S” in” https”. With this additional “s” Google has made searches private and secure. SSL or Secure Socket Layer connection works as safe bunker containing your browser and Google, not letting any third party sniff. If you are surfing net at any public place using Wi-Fi access, you might not want interlopers to have the ability to discover what you are searching for. This indeed is a great move by Google by placing this protects as now the information you transmit to Google search is completely protected from people or bots that may be monitoring traffic on your network.
SSL is common for eCommerce or email providing sites but this seems to be a unique step integrating SSL into Google Search. A few points worth mentioning here is that the SSL will not reduce the data sent to Google , it only hides the data from the third parties such as bots or ISPs. This protection will work till the time you are on Google search and Google search result pages. The moment you click and visit any of the links on the Search result page, your information becomes open to all.
