In a text processing system having a keyboard (8), a printing mechanism (6), a text storage (10) and a processing unit (2), an improved content-addressed text search apparatus is provided that locates a reference point in a string of text-representative codes in storage (10) based on comparisons with an address string entered by the operator on the keyboard (8). Such comparisons are automatically modified to equate certain codes and code patterns that present an ambiguity to the operator in establishing the address string, e.g. a tab operation and a series of space operations may have the same apparent result for printing but are stored as different codes. By so expanding the acceptable matching code patterns selectively with respect to the codes presented for comparison, the likelihood of operator success in identifying a desired text location is increased significantly. |
