I am new user of wireshark, so suppose wireshark is running, so if I run for example in my browser something like : 
https://site.com/?a=14&b=hehe. Does wireshark will capture the get data in plain text as it I have tiped ? or it will 
be captured in an encrypted format ?

The scheme in your URL is "https", which means that the traffic will be encrypted with SSL/TLS.  Wireshark captures 
network traffic at a very low level, so it'll capture the encrypted traffic, not the decrypted plain-text data.

See the Wireshark Wiki page on SSL:

        http://wiki.wireshark.org/SSL

for information on how to configure Wireshark to attempt to decrypt the traffic.
