# Which Problems Are Solved
While investigating a support ticket, it was discovered that some
queries using equals or not equals without case matching were not
correctly escaping the value to compare. If a value contained a
backslash (`\`) the row would not match.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Fixed the escaping for backslash for `like` operations.
- Changed equals and not equals comparison without case matching to `=`
instead of `like`.
# Additional Changes
None
# Additional Context
- related to a support request
- requires backport to v.3 and v4.x
