Answer 1

Similar to Francisco's answer but with a single application of the where clause:

string[] search = new string[] { "Bush", "111", "John" };
var customers = new[]   { 
                            new {FName = "Dick", Surname = "Bush", Phone = "9512221111", DOB = new DateTime(1980,01,01), Address = "John Street 1" },
                            new {FName = "John", Surname = "Smith", Phone = "3051112222",  DOB =  new DateTime(1978,01,01), Address = "Roosevelt Av 787"}
                        };


var result = customers.Where(customer => search.All(term =>
                    customer.FName.Contains(term)
                    || customer.Surname.Contains(term)
                    || customer.DOB.ToString().Contains(term)
                    || customer.Phone.Contains(term)
                    || customer.Address.Contains(term)
                    ));
