Quick question: How does one set up encryption while using the Tor browser for things like searches and regular browsing (research, etc)? Would be useful to know. Appreciate.

You just use https. There are extensions like HTTPSEverywhere, but they potentially add bits to your fingerprint. DuckDuckGo also offers their search interface as a hidden service, perhaps worth bookmarking.
