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”.

Heavy downpours have hit central Japan, resulting in floods, landslides and serious travel disruption, The Japan Times reports.

The storm was partially caused by Typhoon Etau that recently crossed central Japan. A hotel in a popular resort area in the country has collapsed. Municipalities have issued evacuation orders to about 90,000 people in the country's Tochigi Prefecture. No buses and trains have been operating in the Kinugawa region.
