At work, possibly. Although, if anything were that personal, I wouldn't google it at work at all. Same with looking for other jobs. All it takes is for a work colleague to look at your screen at the wrong time. Not to mention the fact that the second you click on the link to go to the site, any network monitoring tools that might have picked up on the google search will almost certainly be triggered by something in the site you visit.
As for helping people up to no good, well, there are a *lot* of dodgy sites on Google.
I still don't really see how it will help anyone using google legitimately.

Wifi is encrypted because regardless of your google search results, there will be something your network carries that you need encrypted. Another good reason to encrypt is to stop unauthorised users on your network.
