pattern matching - Indexing Service Query Language returning more items than expected -

we're using indexing service query language (a.k.a. dialect 2) , following query,

@taxcategory  "\areas\technology\" , @xmlconfigid = 14

it unexpectedly matches following 2 items instead of first:

technology  technology, media & entertainment

we expected ending slash constrain search item; appears grab having given text @ beginning of string.

how write queries target first , second items independently?

update: content indexed indexing service this:

<ekttaxcategory>#eksep# \areas\technology #eksep#</ekttaxcategory>

and

<ekttaxcategory>#eksep# \areas\technology, media & entertainment#eksep#</ekttaxcategory>

respectively.

because substring #eksep# appears @ end of we're seeking, seen example of indexed items in question, ended solving issue using query:

@taxcategory  "\areas\technology#eksep#" , @xmlconfigid = 14

we considered using unix style pattern matching in query , period . string terminator, never needed try after above query worked.

if else solves similar problem using different way or pattern matching, please post answer sample query. thanks.
