延迟执行与ToList给出不同的结果

我正在单元测试一个为搜索可查询项而编写的函数。我只是断言我得到了1个项，如果该方法有效，我应该得到它。但我拿回了0个项目。在我的方法中，我使用延迟执行，在返回之前只使用ToList。但如果我改为直接使用列表并重复调用ToList，我会得到正确的结果。

我是否正确地说，假设延迟执行产生与立即执行相同的结果是不安全的？

这是一个小应用程序，用于证明它返回0个项目

   class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Dictionary<string, string> values = new Dictionary<string, string>()
            {
                 {
                     "Prop1",
                     "*Value*"
                 },
                 {
                     "Prop2",
                     "2*"
                 }
            };
            List<InputItem> items =new List<InputItem>()
            {
                new InputItem()
            };
            Console.WriteLine(Helper.SearchInputItems(items.AsQueryable(), values).Count);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
    public class InputItem
    {
        public Dictionary<string, string> MappedValues = new Dictionary<string, string>()
        {
            {
                     "Prop1",
                     "This is a value that should be found"
                 },
                 {
                     "Prop2",
                     "2 everything that begins with 2 should be found"
                 }
        };
    }
    public static class Helper
    {
        delegate bool Searcher(string input, string searchString);
        /// <summary>
        /// Searches the added input items.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="values">A dictionary of field names and the search pattern for that field.</param>
        /// <returns>List of found InputItems.</returns>
        public static List<InputItem> SearchInputItems(IQueryable<InputItem> inputItems, Dictionary<string, string> values)
        {
            foreach (var value in values)
            {
                string searchString = value.Value;
                Searcher searcher;
                if (searchString.StartsWith("*") && searchString.EndsWith("*"))
                {
                    searcher = new Searcher(StringHelpers.Contains);
                    searchString = searchString.Substring(1);
                    searchString = searchString.Remove(searchString.Length - 1);
                }
                else if (searchString.EndsWith("*"))
                {
                    searcher = new Searcher(StringHelpers.StartsWith);
                    searchString = searchString.Remove(searchString.Length - 1);
                }
                else
                {
                    searcher = new Searcher(StringHelpers.Exact);
                }
                inputItems = inputItems.Where(c =>
                    c.MappedValues.Any(x => x.Key == value.Key) &&
                    searcher(c.MappedValues.First(x => x.Key == value.Key).Value, searchString)
                    );
            }
            return inputItems.ToList();
        }
    }
    public static class StringHelpers
    {
        public static bool Contains(string input, string searchString)
        {
            return input.ToUpperInvariant().Contains(searchString.ToUpperInvariant());
        }
        public static bool StartsWith(string input, string searchString)
        {
            return input.ToUpperInvariant().StartsWith(searchString.ToUpperInvariant());
        }
        public static bool Exact(string input, string searchString)
        {
            return input.ToUpperInvariant() == searchString.ToUpperInvariant();
        }
    }

如果我设置了一个断点，我实际上可以看到它检查2 everything that begins with 2 should be found是否包含Value，但它没有，并返回false。因此，where子句中的FirstOrDefault似乎选择了错误的项

        foreach (var value in values)
        {
            ...
            inputItems = inputItems.Where(c =>
                c.MappedValues.Any(x => x.Key == value.Key) &&
                searcher(c.MappedValues.First(x => x.Key == value.Key).Value, 
                                              searchString)
                );
        }

foreach (var valueIterationVariable in values)
{
    var value = valueIterationVariable;
    // code as before
}
