The data in your database may have spaces after it that you are not seeing.
The find is not returning what you expect because it is trying to match an
exact string. 'abcd' does not equal 'abcd '. Check the data in your database
to make sure there are no spaces after it. A simple check would be to run
the following in irb:
Data.find(:all).each {|i| puts "#{i.name}|" }
If the names don't print out with the pipe (|) as the last character in the
string then you have a space at the end of the name.
