Not 100% sure what you meant about disabling Google's dupe filter, Robert, but I ran the search, added &filter=0 to the end of the URL and ran it again. It was still the https pages that showed up, and in exactly the same place.

The secure portion of the site has been online for about 11 months, and many of my phrases have been page one for quite some time. I wonder why it's only in the last week or so that Google started using the https protocol? The paranoid side of me thinks a competitor may be trying something.
