I don't have much recent firsthand PG experience, but reading citext docs, it looks like exactly what you need.
So when comparisons are done in SQL it should work (at least it works for me on MySQL with similar DB-side settings). On the other hand if you are using in-memory filtering with expressions it won't work, as in-memory comparisons are simple Java "equal". Finally there is a 'likeIgnoreCase' expression that works consistently in-memory and in DB (regardless of DB-side case sensitivity), as the name implies.
