New Google Web Search Features

Adding to its extensive array of web search features (including some new ones I mentioned last month), the Google Weblog reports that there are even more number search options at Google:

  • Area Codes, e.g. 650, bring up maps.
  • UPC codes, e.g. 073333531084 or 036000250015, bring up some information about the product.
  • Flight numbers, e.g. usair 50, provide links to flight tracking
  • Vehicle ID (VIN) numbers, e.g. JH4NA1157MT001832, link to a CARFAX report on what kind of car and its status.
  • U.S. Postal Service tracking numbers link to package status.
