That sounds wrong :) Did your doc.username contain the single quotes? e.g the
double quotes mean a json string and the single quotes should then be inside
that string. How were you making the query? I can hit
http://examples.cloudant.com/animaldb/_design/views101/_view/latin_name?key="Meles
meles" fine, for instance.
