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”.

Vale said that the Sul Superior dam could collapse if the current pace of movement in the mine pit's embankment continues. The dam contains waste from the Gongo Soco iron ore mine.
