Years ago Google added SSL encryption to products ranging from Gmail to Google Docs and others, and they continued to enable encryption on more services. Like banking and e-commerce sites, Google’s encryption extends beyond login passwords to the entire service. This session-wide encryption is a significant privacy advantage over systems that only encrypt login pages and credit card information. Early this year, Google took an important step forward by making SSL the default setting for all Gmail users. And today they’re gradually rolling out a new choice to search more securely at https://www.google.com.

If the stuff you are searching for is illegal, I doubt SSL will block an attack from a subpoena.

I don\'t know, it might be some good punishment for someone hacking into my network to have a picture of a naked monkey ass pop up on his/her computer screen.
