See more:

if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(search))
     {

         list = list.Where(u => u.xMsgDisplayAddr.Contains(search)).ToList();

         list = list.Where(u => u.xMsgNo.Contains(search)).ToList(); --> problem here
     }

What I have tried:

xMsgNo is a long data type, how to check contains by string for long variable?
