where filter returns empty array in Loopback3

Question

I have model named franchise form which I want to fetch data based on franchise name. My query is

{"where":{"company_name":"test"}}

The strange thing is sometimes the filter works properly but sometimes it returns an empty Array. I am using loopback3 .
