Is there a way to use LINQ technology to search in a text string
Regular expressions are in my opinion not very intuitive.
Something along the lines of
From astring
Select WORDS
where WORD like '%hello%'
or
From astring
Select WORDS
where WORD startswith '<' AND WORD endswith '>'
WORD being a special keyword
I suppose there could be other keywords such as SENTENCE or NUMBER

Regular expressions SQL replacement

not all words are space seperated. It might be a full stop , comma or tab.
I am thinking more along the lines of a proper parser.

Perhaps
from word in astring.Split(" ")
where word.StartsWith("<") and word.EndsWith(">")
select word
...
