Google has expanded its collection special searches. If you search for the following items, Google will include special links at the top of the search engine results pages.
Enter a US telephone area code in the search field to get a map of the relevant geographic region.
Enter a universal product code (UPC) from an item you purchased in the search field to get more information on the product.
Enter an airline name or code and a flight number and Google will give you links to travel information. (Yahoo! has implemented a similar feature.)
Enter a Vehicle ID number (VIN) to receive more information on the year, make and model of a specific car.
USPS (U.S. Postal Service Tracking Numbers) will lead you to the USPS website which gives you the shipping status of a package.
A feature aimed at giving access to more information about the owners of domain names (e.g. whois seoengine.com) has apparently been removed.
