If you think that your search terms get not exposed to a target site if you click on a http link in https Google since the referer gets not sent then you might be wrong, at least in the case of ads on www.google.com, instead of encrypted.google.com:

If you click on an advertisement, and the advertiser's website is HTTP rather than HTTPS, Google will send the search terms for that specific query to the advertiser over HTTP. The encrypted.google.com domain will continue to exist and will not have that behavior: on that domain, advertisers only get to see the search that lead to a click-through if they use HTTPS.
I would trust Google as far as I can throw them even if they told me that they are encrypted and withholding everything. This is a company that makes money to do just the opposite. Use something else, startpage is great since they crippled and blocked duckduckgo and scroogle. Let's see how long before they block them too, if they care about your privacy, then why block anyone?
