I just noticed in 4.8 when I take a struct with a string in it then break that struct in a BP then drag off string var and type == in context menu it doesnt appear. I have to find it manually.  
Just a small one.

Hey !

Thanks for report! I was able to reproduce this in 4.8.0 as well as our internal build. It appears String == node isn’t there anymore. I’ve created a bug report for this (UE-17011) and I’ll let you know when I see any update on it. In meantime, you can work around this by using Name == node and converting string to Name for sake of comparison. Thanks again!

Hey ,

Just wanted to let you know that this has been fixed internally, and the == node for strings is back in BP editor. This fix will be included in a future version of engine, likely 4.9. Thanks!
