Question

I have list and I need to search for items something like:

if the user searches for smi it will bring all items that include smi?

Any idea?

Answer 1

Check the following example

string serachKeyword ="o";

List<string> states = new List<string>();
states.Add("Frederick");
states.Add("Germantown");
states.Add("Arlington");
states.Add("Burbank");
states.Add("Newton");
states.Add("Watertown");
states.Add("Pasadena");
states.Add("Maryland");
states.Add("Virginia");
states.Add("California");
states.Add("Nevada");
states.Add("Ohio");

List<string> searchResults = states.FindAll(s => s.Contains(serachKeyword));
