How to query an array of objects ?

[Nima Ha]

Here's a Person object :

public class Person

{

       public string FirstName{get;set;}

       public string LastName{get;set;}

       public string[] NickNames{get;set;} 
}

Suppose that we want to query all the persons with a certain nickname.("Tough Guy" for example)

I thought I could write it like this :

var query=session.Query<Person>().Where(p=>p.NickNames.Contains("Tough Guy"));

but this statement generates an empty query. 

I know I could use Any() but the problem is that I want to translate a string into a Linq query (For example : FirstName.Equals("John") AND NickNames.Contains("Tough Guy")) using Dynamic Linq Library and this library doesn't support extension methods such as Any ( unless I modify its source which I think it would be the last option)

So the question is how I can search for Though Guys in a list of documents ? :)

I have used Dynamic Linq for expressing simple, strongly typed query options. For complex scenarios just drop down to the lucene api.
