c# - How to create predicate dynamically

Hi i want to create a list based on the search string using predicate expressions.

I have a list of type products contains different names.

List<products> list1 = new List<products>();

        list1.Add(new products("sowmya"));
        list1.Add(new products("Jane"));
        list1.Add(new products("John"));
        list1.Add(new products("kumar"));
        list1.Add(new products("ramya"));
        listBox1.ItemsSource = list1;

Now i want to filter the content based on user input.User will enter n no of strings with '+' as separator. After receiving the strings i will pass them to predicate object like this

 private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        List<products> list2 = new List<products>();
        Expression<Func<products, bool>> predicate = PredicateBuilder.True<products>();
        if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
        {
            string Searchstring = textBox1.Text.ToString().Trim();
            string[] separator = new string[] { "+" };
            string[] SearchItems=Searchstring.Split(separator,StringSplitOptions.None);
            foreach (string str in SearchItems)

            {
                string temp = str;
                predicate =p => p.Name.Contains(temp.ToLower());                   
            }

            list2 = list1.AsQueryable().Where(predicate).ToList();
            listBox1.ItemsSource = list2;
        }
    }

If i enter more than one string(sowmya+jane+john) its giving only the last string(john) result but i want a list of all matching strings

Please answer this question because i'm trying this but i couldn't get the result.

Please do some help thanks.

Initialize the predicate as false

Expression<Func<products, bool>> predicate = PredicateBuilder.False<products>();

You need to combine the predicates using Or

foreach (string str in SearchItems)
{
    string temp = str;
    predicate = predicate.Or(p => p.NameToLower().Contains(temp.ToLower()));                   
}

Source for predicate builder here. It is part of LINQKit

Code, in case link goes

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Linq.Expressions;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public static class PredicateBuilder
{
  public static Expression<Func<T, bool>> True<T> ()  { return f => true;  }
  public static Expression<Func<T, bool>> False<T> () { return f => false; }

  public static Expression<Func<T, bool>> Or<T> (this Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr1,
                                                      Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr2)
  {
    var invokedExpr = Expression.Invoke (expr2, expr1.Parameters.Cast<Expression> ());
    return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>
          (Expression.OrElse (expr1.Body, invokedExpr), expr1.Parameters);
  }

  public static Expression<Func<T, bool>> And<T> (this Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr1,
                                                       Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr2)
  {
    var invokedExpr = Expression.Invoke (expr2, expr1.Parameters.Cast<Expression> ());
    return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>
          (Expression.AndAlso (expr1.Body, invokedExpr), expr1.Parameters);
  }
}
