For the question , the answer suggests that we cannot use the LINQ to SQL or linq to entities.

If I write

Expression toLower = Expression.Call(memberAccess, typeof(T).GetMethod("IndexOf",
                                     new[] { typeof(T), typeof(StringComparison) }));
  Expression  condition = Expression.Call(toLower,
                                typeof(string).GetMethod("Contains"),
                                Expression.Constant(value.ToString().ToLower()));
                    lambda = Expression.Lambda(condition, parameter);

I get error:

Value cannot be null. Parameter name: method

If I write

Expression toLower = Expression.Call(memberAccess, typeof(string).GetMethod("IndexOf",
                                         new[] { typeof(string), typeof(StringComparison) }));

The error I get is:

Incorrect number of arguments supplied for call to method 'Int32 IndexOf(System.String, System.StringComparison)'

Thanks in advance

Edit:
Here is the snippet and I need to be able to do a case insenstivie filter:

public static IQueryable<T> Where<T>(this IQueryable<T> query,
            string column, object value, WhereOperation operation)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(column))
                return query;

            ParameterExpression parameter = Expression.Parameter(query.ElementType, "p");

            MemberExpression memberAccess = null;
            foreach (var property in column.Split('.'))
                memberAccess = MemberExpression.Property
                   (memberAccess ?? (parameter as Expression), property);

            //change param value type
            //necessary to getting bool from string
            ConstantExpression filter = Expression.Constant
                (
                    Convert.ChangeType(value, memberAccess.Type)
                );

            //switch operation
            Expression condition = null;
            LambdaExpression lambda = null;
            switch (operation)
            {
                //equal ==
                case WhereOperation.Equal:
                    condition = Expression.Equal(memberAccess, filter);
                    lambda = Expression.Lambda(condition, parameter);
                    break;
                //not equal !=
                case WhereOperation.NotEqual:
                    condition = Expression.NotEqual(memberAccess, filter);
                    lambda = Expression.Lambda(condition, parameter);
                    break;
                //string.Contains()
                case WhereOperation.Contains:
                    condition = Expression.Call(memberAccess,
                        typeof(string).GetMethod("Contains"),
                        Expression.Constant(value));
                    lambda = Expression.Lambda(condition, parameter);
                    break;
            }


            MethodCallExpression result = Expression.Call(
                   typeof(Queryable), "Where",
                   new[] { query.ElementType },
                   query.Expression,
                   lambda);

            return query.Provider.CreateQuery<T>(result);
        }

    Modified the code to:

       Expression  toLower = Expression.Call(memberAccess, "ToLower", null, null);                  
       lambda = Expression.Lambda(condition, parameter);
