What was formerly known as Froogle is today well known as Google Product Search. Product search service was launched by Google Inc., this lets users compare price of different products online. The most interesting feature is that Google does not make commission on sales, it listing is completely free. Its all upto you you may or may not submit your product using Google base still Google will find you. For product inclusion a vendor or company can submit its product using Google Base (individual product or bulk products). A company may submit its website information in Google for fast listing but it is not mandatory, without search engine submission also a website is indexed and crawled by Google. Google crawler if finds your website selling some product then feeds its information to Froogle or Google Product. A vendor product is listed automatic in Google product search database. Still, a vendor can buy sponsored listing (through Google Adwords) so that it appears on the right side of product search result pages.
Visit Google Product, by just entering your query in product search box you can obtain details of your desired product.
