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.

Travel Conditions

To see delays and weather conditions at a particular airport, type the airport's three letter code followed by the word "airport." For example, San Francisco International Airport updates can be found by searching for "sfo airport."

EDIT: I was trying FedEx Ground numbers, which don't work. I just tried a FedEx Express tracking number and it worked fine. Also, I tried some more UPS Ground numbers and some work, some don't. Nice feature, but it needs some work...

Thanks for the headsup on the extra noodles...oops Google...LOL!

Also, thanks, for the 'miserable failure' tip. Somehow, I just KNEW he was gonna be involved when that search page appeared. Now, I have something else to share with my say no to 'W' family in the next few weeks!
