[HTTPS-E Rulesets] Google product search

[Tom Wright]

I think there are problems with the rules related to google product search.

=== Problem ===

   * By default product search from all localized google sites (google.co.uk,
google.it) redirect to the encrypted search page on google.com with the
appropriate language set. However, the results always show up in dollars,
which isn't very useful.
   * I think there is an exclusion which was intended for this (containing
tbs=shop), however I think this is broken: The product search url contains
the string tbm=shop rather than tbs=shop, further this doesn't match
localized google sites.

=== Suggested fix ===

Replace the google rule containing tbs=shop with:

<exclusion pattern="^http://(www\.)?google\.(?!com)[^/]+/search.*tbm=shop"
/>

This leaves all local product searches unencrypted but in the correct
currency. I think this an improvement.

Thanks,
Tom
