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”.

These weather events have been attributed to climate change.

Severe saltwater intrusion and water shortages have been reported in the nation since late 2014, while 19 storms and tropical depressions appeared in the East Sea in 2013.
