Google Adds Features

Always
looking for new ways to organize and retrieve information, Google has
forced me to rewrite "10
Things I Bet You Never Knew about Google".
I guess I’ll wait for one more good one and upgrade to "A Dozen Things…."

Google
has released a new feature called Search by Number for users to find
information related to parcel tracking IDs, patents, and
other specialized
numbers. For example, typing "fedex" followed by a space and a FedEx
tracking number will return the latest information on a package.

Search by Number offerings include:

• UPS tracking numbers example search: [1Z9999W999999999]
• FedEx tracking numbers example search: [fedex
  999999999999]
• Patent numbers example search: [patent 5123123]
• FAA airplane registration numbers (usually
  found on tail): [n199ua]
• FCC equipment IDs example search: [fcc B4Z-34009-PIR]

  Google by Number is available now on Google.com to all English language
  users throughout the world. International versions will
  be made available in the coming
  months. More information can be found here:

  The company seeks suggestions for other types
  of numbers to search.
