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”.

Willis Re executives said that M&As would continue following the recent takeover of Lloyd's insurer Amlin P.L.C. by Japan's MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings Inc. "The multiples being paid are quite expensive," said Hannover Re S.E. chief executive Ulrich Wallin.
