Hi Destinykid,
Using below article i have created the example.
You need to use Contains method in where clause.
Check this example. Now please take its reference and correct your code.
Controller
public class HomeController : Controller
{
private DBCtx Context { get; }
public HomeController(DBCtx _context)
{
this.Context = _context;
}
public IActionResult Index()
{
List<Customer> customers = this.Context.Customers.Take(10).ToList();
return View(customers);
}
[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Index(string name)
{
List<Customer> customers = this.Context.Customers.Where(x => x.ContactName.Contains(name)).ToList();
return View(customers);
}
}
View
@addTagHelper*, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
@using EF_Core_MVC.Models;
@model IEnumerable<Customer>
@{
Layout = null;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
<form asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Index" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<hr />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th>CustomerID</th>
<th>ContactName</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Country</th>
</tr>
@foreach (Customer customer in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>@customer.CustomerID</td>
<td>@customer.ContactName</td>
<td>@customer.City</td>
<td>@customer.Country</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
</body>
</html>
