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”.

SCOR, which holds a 32.9% stake in Zug, Switzerland-based Converium, has bid $2.5 billion in cash and shares for control of the company.
Converium said in a statement that it urged shareholders to reject SCOR's offer, which it said undervalues the company.
