I need to return a distinct list of records based on a car keywords search like: "Alfa 147"
The problem is that, as I have 3 "Alfa" cars, it returns 1 + 3 records (it seems 1 for the Alfa and 147 result, and 3 for the Alfa result)
EDIT:
The SQL-Server Query look something like this:
SELECT DISTINCT c.Id, c.Name /*, COUNT(Number of Ads in the KeywordAdCategories table with those 2 keywords) */
FROM Categories AS c
INNER JOIN KeywordAdCategories AS kac ON kac.Category_Id = c.Id
INNER JOIN KeywordAdCategories AS kac1 ON kac.Ad_Id = kac1.Ad_Id AND kac1.Keyword_Id = (SELECT Id FROM Keywords WHERE Name = 'ALFA')
INNER JOIN KeywordAdCategories AS kac2 ON kac1.Ad_Id = kac2.Ad_Id AND kac2.Keyword_Id = (SELECT Id FROM Keywords WHERE Name = '147')
My LINQ query is:
var query = from k in keywordQuery where splitKeywords.Contains(k.Name)
join kac in keywordAdCategoryQuery on k.Id equals kac.Keyword_Id
join c in categoryQuery on kac.Category_Id equals c.Id
join a in adQuery on kac.Ad_Id equals a.Id
select new CategoryListByKeywordsDetailDto
{
Id = c.Id,
Name = c.Name,
SearchCount = keywordAdCategoryQuery.Where(s => s.Category_Id == c.Id).Where(s => s.Keyword_Id == k.Id).Distinct().Count(),
ListController = c.ListController,
ListAction = c.ListAction
};
var searchResults = new CategoryListByBeywordsListDto();
searchResults.CategoryListByKeywordsDetails = query.Distinct().ToList();
The entities are:

// Primary properties
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }

The result I expect for the search of "ALFA" is "Cars: 3" and for the search of "ALFA 147" is "Cars: 1" and actually the result I get is "Cars: 1 \n Cars: 3"
