Description

### Problem I have

I noticed if you copy a URL that is HTTP and try to search for a user, or a post, it won't correctly find it, due to the HTTP for some reason. Unsure if its because the originating server of the user/post only accepts HTTPS or because there is an issue with 302 redirects from http -> https happening?

### Solution I'd like

It would be nice to have any URL posted into the search box to either re-try https, or automatically assume it should be HTTPS. Considering where we are in the timeline, it feels like it should auto-convert to HTTPS to make sure the lookup is secure and not leaking metadata in plaintext.
