Η Google started implementing SSL for the searching machine της από το 2010. Αυτή την στιγμή κανείς πλέον δεν μπορεί να τρέξει την ιστοσελίδα της Google με πρωτόκολλο HTTP αφού και να το ζητήσουμε η company redirects us to HTTPS protocol.
But there is still one option left for them users who prefer to conduct Google searches using links HTTP.
By placing the following command in the browser of your choice, you will notice that Google Search is uploaded via HTTP
http://www.google.com/?nord=1
From there, it allows you to perform any search on Google using HTTP links. The parameter Nord = 1 is the reason why Google does not automatically redirect you to the HTTP version of the page.
Nord, which means No Redirection, is usually used to stop Google from redirecting you to local search engines.
You may be wondering why someone would like to use HTTP instead of HTTPS when performing searches on Google. It is not beneficial from a safety point of view, but there are other benefits from using HTTP. For example, you may notice an increase in speed when logging in to Google when using HTTP instead of HTTPS. This is especially noticeable with the first login attempt and less then the information is cached to speed up the connection.
It can also be useful in high traffic when HTTPS links to Google can be too slow or unstable while HTSP connections work just fine.
In most cases, it makes no sense to use HTTP instead of HTTPS, but if you are experiencing a situation where HTTPS does not work or hardly works, then you can find this option useful as it can give you access to Google Search.
