Comment #1 on issue 356 by gwern0: Change or add to Actions.Search secure  
versions of wikipedia and isohunt.

What exactly would going through SSL add? The Wikipedia search did in fact  
use to go
through secure.w.o, but no one ever mentioned it as a good thing nor  
complained when
I switched it to normal search (nor have I ever seen anyone complain about  
surfraw,
for example, going through normal).

The chief benefit of SSL is secure login, but that's not particularly  
germane to
searching, and not all browsers can handle SSL without hassle; elinks  
won't, for example.
