Andrew, you can tell the answer from Brent's info (not obvious in your mail, as you put your new text above the quote):

To get that row returned, 1) either use "LIKE" (as Brent proposed), or 2) include the '\r\n' in the string you search for, or 3) modify your data so that trailing control characters are not stored. IMO, 3) might be the best way, depending on your application's neds.
