Query using generic type gives error "Cannot understand how to translate method 'GetValue'

[Bob Lamb]

simple query using generic type

 _dbSession.Query<T>().Search(x => x.GetType().GetProperty("Name").GetValue(x),"a");

Gives error

  System.NotSupportedException: Could not understand expression: Convert(from 'Operators', IRavenQueryable`1).Search(x => x.GetType().GetProperty("Name").GetValue(x, null), "a", 1, Guess, Or)

       ---> System.NotSupportedException: Cannot understand how to translate method 'GetValue' of 'System.Reflection.PropertyInfo' type. x.GetType().GetProperty("Name").GetValue(x, null)

You cannot issue a query like that using Linq.

You can use the _dbSession.Advanced.DocumentQuery<T>().WhereEquals("Name","a"); instead
