    <p>You can't do what you want to do without issuing multiple queries to the database - essentially one per search term. If you are happy to do that, then here is an easy way to do it:</p> <pre><code>var terms = new [] { "s", "t", "r", "e", "b", "c", }; var ids = from term in terms from id in _db.Books .Where(book =&gt; book.Title.Contains(term)) .Select(book =&gt; book.Id) group term by id into gts orderby gts.Count() descending select gts.Key; var selectedIds = ids.Take(50).ToArray(); var query = from book in _db.Books where selectedIds.Contains(book.Id) select book; </code></pre> <p>I wrote the <code>ids</code> to return a list of ids sorted by those that match the most terms first. This was to most closely get the same kind of result that you wanted in your question. I then decided to use a <code>Take(50)</code> to get the top 50 results. You can obviously change this strategy to suit your needs, but you must end up with an array of ids to use in the final query.</p> <p>I hope this helps.</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT: based on OP's edit.</strong></p> <p>Here's how to query with the score included:</p> <pre><code>var terms = new [] { "s", "t", "r", "e", "b", "c", "l", "i", }; var idScores = from term in terms from id in _db.Books .Where(book =&gt; book.Title.Contains(term)) .Select(book =&gt; book.BookID) group term by id into gts select new { Id = gts.Key, Score = gts.Count(), }; var selectedIds = idScores.Select(x =&gt; x.Id).Take(50).ToArray(); var selectedBooks = from book in _db.Books where selectedIds.Contains(book.BookID) select book; var query = from b in selectedBooks.ToArray() join x in idScores on b.BookID equals x.Id orderby x.Score descending select new { Title = b.Title, Type = "Book", Link = "Books/Details/" + b.BookID, Score = x.Score, }; </code></pre>

    2. CODisregarding my EDIT, when I try it, the first part seems to work, but when the "query" part executes, the order of the selectedIds is lost. It just orders the results by book.Title.

    3. CO@johnnycakes - I've edited my question per your edit. My original query did ignore the order of the selected ids. It still returned only the books with highest score. The new edit now properly orders the results.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
