filterData linq query - EntityCommandExeceptionException error

[miss786]

Dear all, When I try to query 24 values of name parameter , api/test/name=stop,tap,app...(24 names values), I get a following EntityCommandExeceptionException error as an output response: "Message":"An error has occurred.","ExceptionMessage":"Some part of your SQL statement is nested too deeply. Rewrite the query or break it up into smaller queries.","ExceptionType":"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException

public HttpResponseMessage get([FromUri] Query query)
{
var data = db.database_bd.AsQueryable();

            if (query.startDate != null)
            {
                data = data.Where(c => c.UploadDate >= query.startDate);
            }

            // If any other filters are specified, return records which match any of them:
            var filteredData = new List\>();

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(query.name))
            {
                var ids = query.name.Split(',');
                foreach (string i in ids)
                {
                    filteredData.Add(data.Where(c => c.Name != null && c.Name.Contains(i)));
                }
            }
            // If no filters passed, return all data.
            // Otherwise, combine the individual filters using the Union method
            // to return all records which match at least one filter.
            if (filteredData.Count != 0)
            {
                data = filteredData.Aggregate(Queryable.Union);
            }
            ****if (!data.Any())** //line causing the error**
            {
                var message = string.Format("No data was found");
                return Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, message);
            }

            return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, data);
        }      
}

Do I have to assign count value to filterdata, or Is their certain threshold, to search criteria, if using the split function? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have tried changing how the filterdata is added to the list, but I am still experiencing the same issue as my orginal post:

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(query.name))
        {
            var ids = query.name.Split(',');
            foreach (string i in ids)
            {
                **var list = data.Where(c => c.Name != null && c.Name.Contains(i)).AsQueryable();
                filteredData.Add(list);**
            }
        }

could someone please provide any assistance. Many thanks.
