Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

To no one’s great surprise, cable TV remains dominant technology for delivering video programming to consumers, according to 7th annual video competition report adopted last week and released by FCC Mon. Commission found that cable industry totaled 67.7 million subscribers in June 2000, up one million (1.5%) from 66.7 million in June 1999. But DBS continued to make steady inroads in cable’s market share, adding almost 3 million subscribers over same period to reach nearly 13 million last June, up 29% from year earlier. Largely as result, cable operators now control 80% of burgeoning pay-TV market, down from 82% year earlier, while DBS providers now command growing 15.4%.
