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”.

SHALAMA, which writes commercial and personal lines business, wrote gross premiums in 2006 of around $180 million and those writings reach $200 million this year, Best noted.
