BAAS: SELECT * WHERE [element] CONTAINS '[value-with-hyphens]'

For a query like this:

SELECT * WHERE activities CONTAINS 'bicycle-hire'

On a BAAS endpoint with an "activities" element like this:

activities: ["bicycle-hire","bicycle-hire-onsite"]

I get zero results returned.

If the query is modified to:

SELECT * WHERE activities CONTAINS 'bicycle'

I get results which might be expected as each element does contain that string.

"CONTAINS" documentation here:

http://apigee.com/docs/app-services/content/working-queries.

Does anyone know of a solution or work-around to this issue?... I need to match on the full strings shown in the above array.

Thanks.
