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”.

Top insurance regulators in Maine and Wisconsin have announced that they plan to step down from their appointed posts.

Mr. Iuppa said he will join the private sector but declined to provide details.
