search is not working in ios xamarin.forms - ios

Question

i have a searchbar in my app. the code for searching is as follows:
private void search_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (list_total_reg_std.Count != 0)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.NewTextValue))
{
if (filtered == false)
registeredstdslist.ItemsSource = list_total_reg_std;
else
registeredstdslist.ItemsSource = list_filtered_reg_std;
}
else
{
if (filtered == false)
registeredstdslist.ItemsSource = list_total_reg_std.Where(x => x.name.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue) || x.stdid.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue) || x.edlevel.ToString().ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue));
else
registeredstdslist.ItemsSource = list_filtered_reg_std.Where(x => x.name.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue) || x.stdid.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue) || x.edlevel.ToString().ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue));
}
}
}
this is my xaml:

the registeredstdslist is a collection view that has data about students that i get from a database.
the code works well on android but on my ios simulator, it doesn't work. the collectionview shows no data when i write something in the searchbar though what i write has letters like some data in my list. and when i erase what i wrote, all data are displayed again. why is that? what am i doing wrong?
Update:
i added this:
private void search_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (list_total_reg_std.Count != 0)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.NewTextValue))
{
if (filtered == false)
registeredstdslist.ItemsSource = list_total_reg_std;
else
registeredstdslist.ItemsSource = list_filtered_reg_std;
}
else
{
if (filtered == false)
if(list_total_reg_std.FindAll(x => x.name.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue)).Count==0)
DisplayAlert("Operation Failed", "No matchiing data!", "Cancel");
// registeredstdslist.ItemsSource = list_total_reg_std.Where(x => x.name.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue) || x.stdid.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue) || x.edlevel.ToString().ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue));
else
registeredstdslist.ItemsSource = list_filtered_reg_std.Where(x => x.name.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue) || x.stdid.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue) || x.edlevel.ToString().ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue));
}
}
it actually gave No matching data but why? and why does it work on android with no problems and on ios it doesn't?

Answer 1

One problem I see is that if you type any upper case, it will not match.
x.name.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue) should be x.name.ToLower().Contains(e.NewTextValue.ToLower()).
