    back in 2011, google started to encrypt the referrer info for searchers who are logged in. Nothing is wrong with GA. Other stats programs will report the same thing. Expect the % of encrypted searches to rise as more people sign up for Google+ and more browsers make it default.

    The only place now to get some kind of idea what those not provided searches were is Webmaster Tools.

        Well done ,you have provided the actual information here.This information is also totally new for me.
        You mean that the people who are log in thier account are not visible by the security reasons.I think you are right.

    No they are search visitors who are logged in. Google made it for privacy and security reasons, for those who are using Google services.
