We’re working in EFv1 and I’m implementing a search control with several filter options. Most of them I translate into .Where clauses and that is ok with EF.

But there is one specific filter that can make my application run very slow: text search. The column in the database has a corresponding entity property in my EF model, but I just can’t put a Contains in there, this is not good for text searching.

What do you feel is good to use in this case?

I’ve heard of Lucene, I don’t know if this integrates with EFv1.

Thanks

    I’ve done this successfully. The steps were:

    • Write a stored procedure that does the full text index search.
    • Update your model definition (“Update Model From Database” in the context menu). You’ll need to add the new Stored Procedure
    • Create a Function import (in the Model Browser window, right click on the new Stored Procedure and Create a Function Import). Set the return type to be an appropriate return type (one of your entities).

    You will then have a method you can call on your Context which will return an EntityCollection<>.
