 you're welcome.

 > Even so, not included LIKE in meta_compare on the grounds that there is
 currently no function to easily sanitize the string seems wrong.

 sure. basically, what's needed is to make sure than LIKE and NOT LIKE
 properly handle comparisons that include \_ or \% in the url. these would
 catch literal _ and % in strings without being treated as wildcards. Since
 we're using single quotes, the \ might need to be double-escaped to work
 (i.e. \\\\).
