This is very much a bug: at the moment neither Special:LinkSearch nor the API's
list=exturlusage can find protocol-relative links at all, because trying to
search for a link with an empty protocol defaults to searching for "http".

What is the desired solution?
1. Allow [[Special:LinkSearch///example.com]] and
prop=exturlusage&euquery=example.com&euprotocol=// (or something similar) to
search for protocol-relative links explicitly. This is easy to do, but as noted
above requires the user to perform additional searches.
2. When searching for "http", also search for protocol-relative. This is really
hacky.
3. Brion's solution, save entries with el_index "http" and with "https". The
major drawback here is that it needs to fix the existing entries in
externallinks when upgrading.

Personally, I'd prefer #3 if someone will actually do it in a timely manner
(i.e. unlike bug 27480). #1 would be ok otherwise, at least until #3 is
actually done.
