ModelSearcher NuGet Package

Model Searcher is a simple tool I created for my own use to be able to perform a text based search across specific properties on my Models/ViewModels.

I quickly realised that if I made it generic, this tool could be a great benefit to others. Then, after building a List of ISearchableModels you can call .Search(searchText) which will use Linq.Dynamic to build a search criteria based on all of the [Searchable] properties for that ISearchableModel and will perform the search, returning you the filtered List. You can also Target a particular Searchable Property on your model to search, by calling .Search(m => m.PropertyToSearch, searchText). This will then cause a search on the particular PropertyToSearch as long as it is attributed as Searchable.

Currently this only searches across Properties that are either string/int/long. Other types to come soon! Source code and Wiki available at https://bitbucket.org/jonhoare/modelsearcher!.
