The expression

```
field HAS " "

```

will find field with double space (correct) but will also find field with a single leading space (incorrect)

Whereas

```
%field% HAS " "

```

works ok

This has been fixed since v2.59

`[2014-04-13] FIX: filtering for field HAS " " was also matching files without blanks.`
