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”.

The insurer said the expected completion date to settle all claims has been pushed to mid-2016 due to increased complexities. Despite the huge payouts, the insurer's New Zealand operations made $180 million Australian in profit in the year ended June 30, an increase of 56%.
