I have a SharePoint list with columns as below:
Columns: Title | Description | Categories
Column Type: Text | Note | Lookup
I have a list of categories selected by the user that I want to search against the above list’s Categories column and I’m building a web part for this search functionality.
What is the best route for implementing the search? Is it good to use CAML in this scenario?
There’s no other viable way than using CAML unless you need some specific full-text search capabilities. However, to filter a list by a given column’s value, CAML is the obvious choice.
