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”.

Alessandro Mariani, head of the European Union's counter-piracy operations, has said that there has been a significant decline in piracy threats off Somalia during the last two years, Gulfnews.com reported.

No successful pirate attack has been recorded off the Somalian coast since 2012. Forty seven successful attacks were recorded in the Horn of Africa area in 2010. Mr. Mariani said the decline in the attacks "has resulted in the savings of at least $3 billion annually."
