1. For use in a keyboard activated printing apparatus having a text storage for storing strings of text representative codes, said codes being related to actuations of a keyboard apparatus and including at least one set of plural codes that correspond to an apparently similar printing operation as regards a printed document, a text search system comprising: operator actuatable means for indicating an interval when an address string of codes from said keyboard apparatus is to be recognized; means, responsive to said indicating means, for storage, as an address code string, codes generated during said interval; and search logic means for identifying an addressed location in said text storage, said search logic means including means for sequentially accessing codes from said text storage, means for comparing said text storage codes to said text address code string, said comparing means including means for identifying codes that are members of said set in said text string and in said address string and for converting said set codes, for comparison purposes, to a predefined common code for the set, whereby a location for stored text, that is apparently similar to the address text string from a document appearance standpoint, is indentified.

A search system according to claim 1 wherein said set of codes corresponds to various printer operations that shift the print point without producing a printed character.
