If you noticed during the install, it gives you the opportunity to
include https pages in web history caching. When it said this it made
me curious since I didn't know it indexed web history at all, but
apparently it does and this option can be disabled on the preferences
page if you don't want it.
I tried to reproduce what you said happened with Hotmail and it did
index the messages I have viewed and brought them up in the search
results, and it did let me view a cached copy without a
username/password, but it did not allow me to access the real message in
my account without my username/password. Are you set to login
automagically?
