Bing Begins Supporting Separately SSL Search Site; Query Data Does Not Pass [Not Provided]

Bing now appears to be supporting secure search through the https://www.bing.com address. Previously, trying to use this address generated an error.If you conduct a search on Bing, while on the HTTPS URL, it will remain HTTPS and keep your searches secure. This is a new feature Bing quietly started supporting over the weekend.

Cyrus Shepard tested to see if the query data would pass from Bing SSL search to Google Analytics. It is known that the standard protocol on the web is to not pass query referrer data from HTTPS to non-HTTPS, but from HTTPs to HTTPs, it should pass.
