It doesn't redirect on the search page, but the results pages are located at https://encrypted.google.com.

Ah! Thanks.

But the search suggestions use https://clients1.google.com/ and google should let schools know that block that as well. (Or maybe schools block all https except known good ones?)

Apparently, the login for Google Docs is within https://www.google.com/, so they can't simply redirect the entire domain.

I figured they would just redirect the homepage and the search pages. (The search pages actually are redirected.)

It sounds to me from the blog post that the change hasn't been made yet.

We’re working hard to address this issue as quickly as possible and in a few weeks we will move encrypted search to a new hostname – so schools can limit access to SSL search without disrupting other Google services, like Google Apps for Education.

It redirected me to http://google.com/, so I'd have to go to encrypted.google to do an SSL search.

Did it return a 200 to you for https://google.com/?
