Me personally? I want https for gmail...ok, I've had it since around 2008. For web search? If I'm going to search on something top secret I wouldn't want Google to have identifiable info on me either so I wouldn't use Google or I would try to obfuscate my identity from Google through other means. So, for me, https on search isn't a common use case.
As to China: I think China will block https search on Google. I think any government that censors search will block https search on Google. Playing the China card on this new feature isn't interesting. Google and/or the press should not try to score points through inflammatory China comments with this new feature rollout. Https search should be added simply because its a feature users want; and I'm sure some do.
