If condition in LINQ Where clause

Question

Can I use if clause with Linq where?

Answer 1

In my case there were two "conditional" where depending on search keys, so I did:

    var query = db.Package.Include("SomeThing")
    .Where(item => searchString1 == null || searchString1 == "" || item.Contains(searchString1))
    .Where(item => searchString2 == null || searchString2 == "" || item.Contains(searchString2));
    ...
