1. A word information storage and retrieval apparatus comprising: a plurality of character keys for entering first word information representing a desired word in original form; search means responsive to said plurality of character keys for searching second word information representing said desired word in a variant form, said search means including; an original form memory for containing original forms of a plurality of words; at least one variant form memory for containing variant forms corresponding to said plurality of words; a counter for producing an incremental count upon the initiation of searching; a coincidence detector for sequentially comparing said desired word with the original forms of said plurality of words stored in said original form memory; said coincidence detector comparing said desired word with the original form of a new one of said plurality of words with each increment of said counter, a detected coincidence stopping the incremental count of said counter to thereby allow said counter to produce a signal representative of the original form of the word corresponding to said desired word; said signal generated by said counter being used to address and recall the variant form of said desired word from one of said at least one variant form memories; and a display responsive to said variant form of said desired word for indicating said second word information.

The word information storage and retrieval system of claim 1, further comprising: search start means for actuating said search means upon initial actuation of said search start means, subsequent actuations of said search start means driving said search means to address and recall the variant forms of said desired word from different ones of said variant form memories.
