Google: Your Universal Data Connection...

I discovered something that by itself is small, but this unexpected discovery really impresses me.

 

I had to send a package to Japan via Fedex. They give you a tracking number so you can monitor the progress and know when it gets delivered. The first time I went to FedEx, selected my country, found and clicked the link for tracking, entered in my tracking number, clicked submit, and was then able to see the report.

 

Well, today I went through the same process, AFTER looking up my FedEx tracking number and I decided to put the number into my Google search box in my browser so I would not have to look for the invoice again. I could just do a search once and then the number would be in the little drop-down list so I could copy and paste it into the FedEx site.

 

What I discoved when I saw the search results was that Google RECOGNIZED that the number was a FedEx tracking number and provided a link, not just to the FedEx site, but to the proper tracking number results page that I needed!

 

I don't know how long this will be valid for searching, but you can try this here.
