Bar Code/UPC Google search
Simply type the Bar Code/UPC number (12 digits) into google and it will return the product info. For example, "7 10425 27410 7" gives you "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - 1 DISC - PLAYSTATION 2 - GAME - DVD"

Have not actually found a use for this yet

More Google search tips

Google Help - Refine search
Google Help - Cheatsheet
Google Help - Operators
Google Guide - Advanced Operators
Google Blogoscope - Search Tips 2005
Vitual Chase - Tips for Google searches
Fagan Finder - Advanced searches
Internet Archive, including "The Wayback Machine"
Smeal - Academic Business Searches

Miscellaneous tips:
  • Break your searches down to basic parts and use quotation marks for the core terms with appropriate usage of exclusion and inclusion operators. "The Prince" author:machiavelli will yield more relevent results than The Prince Machiavelli (note the order of results and the exclusion of most commentary on the book with the first search)
  • Cross reference the results to weed out useless or erroneous hits, this will verify accurate sources easier.
  • Click on the "cached results" link instead of the main link, this will highlight the search terms on the page in question making it easier to verify results.
