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”.

QBE North America, a unit of Sydney-based QBE Insurance Group Ltd., has named Robert James as president of property/casualty, effective Feb. 3, the insurer said Monday.

In his new role, Mr. James will be a member of QBE North America's executive management board and will report to David Duclos, QBE North American operations CEO, QBE said in a statement.
