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").

Radio One’s board authorized it to buy back up to $15 million of Class A and/or Class D common stock before April 13, 2013, it said. Based on Radio One’s closing stock price on April 15, that would represent about 12 percent of the company’s outstanding shares, it said. It also reported preliminary results for the first quarter. It expects to report Q1 sales gained 10.9 percent from a year earlier to $65.4 million. It also expects to report a net loss of 37 cents per share for the quarter, it said. Meanwhile TV One will buy out DirecTV’s ownership interests in the pay-TV network before April 30. That transaction will leave Radio One with a 50.8 percent ownership stake in TV One. As a result of the change, Radio One will begin consolidating TV One results in its own accounting, it said.
