I must confess that I do not know how to "hunt down" and kill the https-Links. 
There is no other reasonable explanation than that they are created by my own 
system (either Wiki or internal Google search), but I do not see where.

If you want to check it out, just go to 
http://www.univie.ac.at/rel_jap/an/
and ask for "Buddha" in the search box. You will see that among the results, 
there are several https links

This has not been the case three years ago when I started the Wiki-version of 
this page.

As to why I am using Google Custom search, the main reason is that I use 
additional code elements for hyphenation that are not understood by the wiki 
search. But apart from that, I am not too happy with Wiki search at all. But 
this is another story....

There was no mention of his setup, host he was using, if he had a SSL
cert, if no SSL cert (host misconfiguration?), https login only, etc...
how many links? 5 or 50.

Did you set $wgServer ? Canonicals should always point to what you
prefer in indexing, http or https? Are both the https and http page
versions both indexed? Double indexing same content hurts Google
rankings. Same as http://www vs. http:// would.

Google should not index https unless https is available. So, Mark was
long term best suggestion of finding and updating the links to https.
Pretty easy to find who is linking to the pages.  50 links? If there are
a lot, bigger issue.

I would say at this point, Bernhard, we need more information.
