TrackPackages.com, a US-based package tracking search engine, has released a new version of the popular search engine tool for RSS readers, and also a new Google Gadget, which extends the functionality of the search box to personalised iGoogle homepages, other RSS readers and embedding in web pages or email. This is a desktop tool for retail and auction buyers and sellers who regularly deal with multiple package tracking carriers, and prefer the single simple interface to begin their package search.The gadget or RSS feed sits in a very compact spot on the customer’s homepage or feedreader, and launches the desired tracking carrier number from a single text box.

The Google Gadget supports tracking of shipments via UPS, FedEx, DHL and United States Postal Service (USPS) from a single search box, with an option of going to any of these tracking package landing pages of their respective sites.
