Stupid Google tricks

I just noticed that if I select a tracking number for UPS or Canada Post and search for it Google recognizes the format and links to the appropriate tracking page.

Your Google profile now knows that you shop @ S&M's House of Bondage - not that there's anything wrong with that.

Works for Fedex as well, but it didn't recognize the purolator numbers last time I tried.

I already knew about the Google trick and the Purolator limitations so I simply went to each and every tracking site I normally use and added them to my search bar with a Firefox Addon.

Now all my tracking is easy peasy
