[HTTPS-Everywhere] The DuckDuckGo search engine supplying HTTPS links

[mezzanine at Safe-mail.net]

It appears that the DuckDuckGo search engine features HTTPS hyperlinks for
certain sites in its search results. This includes at least one site which
does not have an HTTPS Everywhere ruleset--searching for "sutter health"
leads to https://myhealthonline.sutterhealth.org/ among the search results,
so it is not clear as to whether the underlying mechanism used by the
DuckDuckGo search is based on HTTPS Everywhere rulesets or merely includes
mappings from HTTPS Everywhere rulesets among other sources or is completely
unrelated. In some respects, for search engines to automatically supply HTTPS
links could be useful for increasing the usage of HTTPS by users who do not
have HTTPS Everywhere or similar plugins installed. (Perhaps the Google
search engine could do things along these lines if they don't already do so.)
