Abstract
A television receiver includes a teletext decoder which is adapted to check whether a keyword entered by the user occurs in a teletext cycle. The teletext pages with the searched keyword, or their page numbers, are identified and stored for later display or selection. The receiver has arrow keys for selecting the keyword on the display screen so that an alphabetical keyboard is not necessary. The receiver also includes a non-volatile memory in which a personal index of keywords can be programmed.
