Subject: One-To-One Search Is NOT Available In Google General Search

There is NO one-to-one search capability on Google or Yahoo, or any other current search engine, except for ID Number search, such as special search engines for Patent Numbers and the Amazon ISBN search engine. This one-to-one capability is very useful. For example, if I have a long list of references, either about people or publications, and I don’t want to store them in my own files, I can just save their UNIVERSALLY unique ID Numbers and retrieve them faithfully in the future through search. Another useful example would be to search a one-and-only article on jumpulse by the late Dr. Ta-You Wu. In the past, the article has appeared in different locations, if my searches are separated by weeks. I can search Ta-You Wu by his name, but get more than what I ask for, and sometimes not the one article I am looking for.

In 2004 Google and Yahoo started to allow submission and search of Web Searchable ID Numbers, such as ISBN, Universal Product Code, and Vehicle Identification Numbers. Is there any news in ID Number Search? I would be very interested in the new development from ANY search engine companies, particularly, Google and Yahoo.

I hope that I can discuss in this issue with Google Community members until we have a conclusion on whether globally one-to-one searchable ID numbers are needed. Thank you very much for your participation. ### [CYL]
