HELP

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”.
