I need to create a universal search in a WinForms app that can search across multiple tables for certain columns and give results in categorized format.

So if I type "James", I would get: 

- Clients  
James Taylor  
James Brown  
-Suppliers  
Jammie James  

- Invoices 
Nro 11425 James

The dashed titles would be category or in this case table.

A theoretical or actual example will go a long way!

    You can easily do this in Entity Framework by having an `Expression>` used as a search criteria for each entity type. I guess other `IQueryable` ORMs `could` support that too. – Federico Berasategui Jul 30 '13 at 22:00
