Abstract
A data file searching system in which data is compared with a search key, and the results of the comparison are then analysed by a processing unit. The action of the processing unit is initiated by an end-of-record signal which is generated in accordance with an end-of-record criterion. This criterion can be varied, and this permits the boundaries between records to be effectively varied.
