Just thought this might be of use to some Freepers.

Here's the instructions from Google's help page:

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.

Are there other types of numbers you'd like Google to search? Please email us at suggestions@google.com.

They just added some more value to the IPO this Spring. I happened to read an article about the two young men who created Google, and they will become billionaires the day they go public. Good for them.

We are so lucky to live in a country that makes things like this possible. Please God don't let the lib/commies take this away from us.
