Searching for pages with any value in property

How do I search for pages with any value in a given property? I can do a search for pages with a specific value in the property, but I can't figure out how to search for "not empty".

For example, this doesn't work:

var criterias = newPropertyCriteriaCollection
{
new PropertyCriteria()
{
    Condition = CompareCondition.NotEqual,
    Name = "MyProperty",
    IsNull = false,
    Type = PropertyDataType.String,
    Value = ""
}
};

var pages = DataFactory.Instance.FindPagesWithCriteria(PageReference.StartPage, criterias);

An exception is thrown, "The crieria value cannot be null or empty. Set the IsNull property to search for null."

Any ideas?

This cannot be achived with just FindPagesWithCriteria and PropertyCriteria. You have to use a filter afterwards. See http://www.frederikvig.com/2009/05/episerver-filter-part-1/. Or just a loop.

You can do the other way around, search for properties that is null.
