 The LIKE comparison has '%' hardcoded before and after the value (meta.php
 line 807)

 `$meta_value = '%' . like_escape( $meta_value ) . '%';`

 Being able to specify the placement of the wildcards would be helpful
 (maybe starts with and end with kinda queries). before and after could be
 the default.

 `$meta_value = '%' . like_escape( $meta_value ) . '%'; // default`

 `$meta_value = like_escape( $meta_value ) . '%'; // starts with`

 `$meta_value = '%' . like_escape( $meta_value ); //ends with`
