This request has two parts that depend on each other: a) Change searchprovider/google.desktop to use https instead of http by default for google search web shortcut. With all the traffic interception that is going on this would be a benefit to privace. For example, I've found my ISP intercepting my http traffic and thus tried to switch everything to https b) Change the URLs in google.desktop from "http://www.google.com/search?q=\\{@}&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8" to "http://www.google.com/search?q=\\{@}&ie=UTF-8" (i.e. get rid of the oe=UTF-8). The reason is that when the first one is used it performs a redirect to a non https page. Thus, changing the URL to "https://www.google.com/search?q=\\{@}&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8" (https) has no effect as it causes a redirection to plain http. IMHO this change should happen for all search providers that support HTTPS with a valid certificate. I.e. use HTTPS by default to help/enhance privacy. Thanks, Stefanos Reproducible: Always
