 Q:

Search refinement for WebMatrix site

I've been asking a few questions on this site, and have answers to lots of little bits, but I am now trying to piece the whole thing together. 
I have a page where it shows all the properties I have in my database. I need to find a way to refine those results though, so for example, to only show properties that have 4 bedrooms etc. The problem is, I don't know how many variables I might have in the search term yet. So here's an example.

a user may want to see ALL properties that just have 4 bedrooms
a user may want to see ALL properties that have 4 bedrooms AND 3 bathrooms AND sleeps 8 people etc.

I have decided to pull all the variables from a query string,?numbedrooms=4&?numbathrooms=3
Here's the code I have so far, but it doesn't work:
@{
var db = Database.Open("StayInFlorida");

IEnumerable<dynamic> queryResults;

int numBedrooms = Request.QueryString["numBedrooms"].AsInt();
int numBathrooms = Request.QueryString["numBathrooms"].AsInt();
int sleeps = 0;

List<int> argList = new List<int>();

if (Request.QueryString["sleeps"].IsInt())
{
sleeps = Request.QueryString["sleeps"].AsInt();
}

int numOfArguments
performance penalty to pay and that is why they are normally scheduled for off - acme prison term. 
 Again, I refer to the MySQL manual page for more detail (this page is one of the best write, clear and concise pieces of technical writing that I have fall across in a farseeing time). 
 You can take further there about Full v. Incremental backups and Snapshots. fall back here if you have further questions about these. 
 If you ask a recommendation, I would commend Percona's XtraBackup. It is a genuine hot backing solution for MySQL databases which use InnoDB table - it does not work for the other engines, in finical MyIsam. The MyIsam architecture precludes hot backups - it necessitate locking of the database.
