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”.

Aon PLC said in a report Thursday that first-quarter insured natural catastrophe losses have reached $15 billion and total economic losses hit $65 billion.
Most of the insured losses come from events in the United States (58%) and Europe, Middle East and Asia (25%), the report said.
Insured losses in excess of $3 billion are expected from an outbreak of severe convective storm activity in the United States on March 1-3.
In New Zealand, there were “unprecedented” weather-related losses within four weeks, including the Auckland flooding and Cyclone Gabrielle, with estimates of insured losses from those two events close to $2 billion.
In April, the Insurance Association of Turkey estimated expected losses of the private insurance sector at $3.9 billion for the quake that struck in February.
Aon also cautioned in its report that “robust” loss development is expected to continue throughout the rest of the year.
