[HTTPS-Everywhere] Google Searches

Hi,

I know the search uses encrypted.google.com which according to the FAQ 
supplies slightly better security.

However, if I use http://www.google.com or https://www.google.com it 
reroutes me to the country specific site of http://www.google.co.uk or 
https://www.google.co.uk and most importantly I get the option to "show 
pages from the uk" which I find invaluable when searching.

I understand you will not change httpseverywhere to use 
https://www.google.[co.uk|com] instead of encrypted.google.com but could 
you perhaps consider making it configurable?

Currently my wife just turns off httpseverywhere just to get searches 
working correctly!

Do custom rules overrule the built in rules?

Thanks!
