    Hi, Brian:

    I think you are getting the idea of constructing search statements. I would suggest simplifying a bit. You don't have to include all the words, just the essential one. Example: if you search "great depression" AND "great recession" you'll get articles discussing and comparing these two events. For you question I might try: (person* OR business) AND storage AND internet and see what you find?

    Cheers,
    Andrea
