Try browsing google with https instead of http and you can see the beta version of Google search through SSL. Whats the use ?
* Protection of your search terms from third parties
* Additional Security with Encrypted Data
BTW , What is SSL ???
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that helps provide secure Internet communications for services like web browsing, e-mail, instant messaging, and other data transfers. When you search over SSL, your search queries and search traffic are encrypted so they can’t be read by any intermediary party such as employers and internet service providers (ISPs).

Google is still testing it, but you can try out the new encrypted version of Google search at https://www.google.com and read more about it on the Official Google Blog.
