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”.

Mr. Vargas said that the federal government has allocated 2.7 billion Mexican pesos ($142 million) for repairs and new construction of highways in the state. The government plans to obtain MXN 900 million from the country's federal natural disaster fund for the reconstruction in six of the eight regions of the state.
