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”.

Damage to the farming sector from climate change could range from THB 600 billion to THB 2.5 trillion between 2005 and 2045, said Mr. Attavanich.
