Question

My simple one keyword query works as follows:

   var query = from product in dc.catalog 
                        where product.Name.Contains("table")
                        select product;

I want to provide more flexibility in the query and get keywords from a textbox which can come from a string like “table red round”. Here I want the result to have the records that contains ALL of the 3 words (red, round, table) IN ANY ORDER.

How do I rewrite the WHERE clause to handle this? Thanks.

Answer 1

var a = from product in dc.catalog  
            where textbox1.Text.Split(' ').All(nam => product.Name.Contains(nam)) 
            select product;
