se você estiver usando o MS Sql, escrevi 2 métodos de extensão para oferecer suporte ao caractere% para a pesquisa curinga. (LinqKit é necessário)
public static class ExpressionExtension

uso

var list = dbContext.Set<People>().Where(predicate.Expand()).ToList();
em ef6 e deve ser traduzido para
....
from People per
where (
patindex(@p__linq__0, per.Name) <> 0
or per.Name like @p__linq__1 escape '~'
) and per.Status like @p__linq__2 escape '~'
', @ p__linq__0 ='% He% llo% ', @ p__linq__1 ='% Hi% ', @ p__linq_2 ='% ativo '
