BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Several Chinese, South Korean and Iranian vessels have been fishing illegally in Somali waters, said a Somali official. Criminal gangs and pirates might use the rise in illegal fishing as a pretext to hijack other vessels, said an official.
