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”.

(Reuters) — The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday said it has intervened in a whistleblower lawsuit against Symantec Corp. that alleges the company submitted false claims to a government agency it worked with under contract.

The case alleges that Symantec, a security software maker, knowingly falsified information it provided to the U.S. General Services Administration about prices it was offering to commercial customers.

The contract, according to the Justice Department, involved hundreds of millions of dollars in sales and spanned from 2007 to 2012.
