Sitecore Search Multiple words

How can I search for multiple words with Sitecore 7 ? I tried with Contains for every word but doesn't work fine and I think performance it's not really good.

Solution

  • you can user PredicateBuilder for this issue :

    Code will be something like: 

     Queryable<SearchItem> SearchText(List<string> keywords, IQueryable<SearchItem> itemList)
    {
        var predicate = PredicateBuilder.True<SearchItem>();

        foreach (string keyword in keywords)
        {
            predicate = predicate.And(i => i.FieldOne.Contains(keyword) || i.FieldTwo.Contains(keyword) || i.FieldThree.Contains(keyword) || i.Fieldyyy.Contains(keyword));
        }
        return itemList.Where(predicate);
    }
