That's not about HTTPS, unless you were intercepting their traffic to Google. That's about referer, and Google blocking referer because it gave away a competitive advantage.
Yeah, that was an oddly useful little feedback loop. You'd see some bizarrely specific query bringing people in and realize there was an entire question people were asking that you'd never thought to write about.
Google Search Console can give you those.
