Ifyou're using an Invoked expression within a LINQ to SQL or Entity Framework query, and have called AsExpandable on the Table, you can optionally skip step 2. This is because AsExpandable automatically calls Expand on expressions. This means either of the following is valid:
The temporary variable in the loop is required to avoid the outer variable trap, where the same variable is captured for each iteration of the foreach loop.

So far, so good. But this only handles the case where you want to match all of the specified keywords. Suppose instead, we wanted products whose description contains any of the supplied keywords. Our previous approach of chaining Where operators is completely useless! We could instead chain Union operators, but this would be inefficient. The ideal approach is to dynamically construct a lambda expression tree that performs an or-based predicate.

Of all the things that will drive you to manually constructing expression trees, the need for dynamic predicates is the most common in a typical business application. Fortunately, it’s possible to write a set of simple and reusable extension methods that radically simplify this task. This is the role of our PredicateBuilder class.

ExpressionStarter fixes this. As soon as the first expression is added to ExpressionStarter, the default experssion is removed. You can add the first expression by calling ExpressionStarter's Start method. However, calling Start is not required. If no expression has been added to the ExpressionStarter, then calling And or Or will simply add the first expresion. This is usefull when using loops.

As you noticed, there are lot of dynamic parameters. This is good if the parameters vary a lot, but here they are pretty static so SQL-server will not be able to perform all caching optimizations. We could optimize away these variables by runtime when LinqKit forms the query.
