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 operations of several automakers including Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. and Honda Motor Co. Ltd. have also been hit due to the quake.

Toyota Motor Corp. said its operating profit may be reduced by around 30 billion Japanese yen ($277 million) for the current quarter as the quakes disrupted parts supplies.
