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 court said that captain Apostolos Mangouras and The London Owners Mutual Insurance Association shall pay the damages to Spain, France, authorities in Spain's Galicia region and to 269 companies among others.
