Google tracks your packages

TIP OF THE DAY

Google tracks your packages

Google has introduced a new search service called "Search by Number."   

Parcel tracking IDs, patents and other specialized numbers can be entered into Google's search box for quick access to information about them. For example, typing "fedex" followed by a space and a FedEx tracking number will return the latest information on your package. Other special search by number types include:
? UPS tracking numbers example search: "1Z9999W999999999"
? FedEx tracking numbers
example search: "fedex 999999999999"
Remember to put the word "fedex" before your tracking number.

? Patent numbers example search: "patent 5123123"
Remember to put the word "patent" before your patent number.

? FAA airplane
registration numbers
example search: "n199ua"
An airplane's FAA registration number is typically printed on its tail.

? FCC equipment IDs example search: "fcc B4Z-34009-PIR"
Remember to put the word "fcc" before the equipment ID.
