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”.

European insurers are finding it difficult to keep up earnings growth due to low interest rates and pressure on prices. Generali said it posted a 12% fall in operating profit in the first three months of 2016 as weak interest rates hit its performance.
