I have three properties 

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Username

User can search for a word that can be in all three properties. I have had this two queries to achieve the desired result

searchTermFilters = searchTermFilters
    .For(term)
    .InFields(x => x.Firstname, x => x.Surname, x => x.Username);
searchTermFilters = searchTermFilters
                .OrFilter(x => x.Firstname.AnyWordBeginsWith(term))
                .OrFilter(x => x.Surname.AnyWordBeginsWith(term))
                .OrFilter(x => x.Username.AnyWordBeginsWith(term));

The issue is that for both of them it matches exactly. I want something like .Contains in Linq. Any insights?

Hi Mohsin,

You could try below

   query = query.For(term, q =>
                    {
                        q.Query = $"*{term}*";
                    }).InField(s => s.Name);
