lucene query "not null" in Studio

[Nick]

I created a test index where I index only one field, called Loc. It is a structure with several other fields.
I would like to get the objects that have this field NOT NULL, so I'm writing:

-Loc:[[NULL_VALUE]]

But I get no results. I know that some objects have this field set to null and some others don't. I can see NULL_VALUE in the terms.

Thanks

You need to have at least one positive match

*:* AND -Loc:[[NULL_VALUE]]

Thank you Oren.

How could I also ensure in the same query that the underlying field exists?
I ask because your query also gives me all objects that don't have the Location field set.

Location:*

it should be noted that its *:* - not *.*  

ie use a colon : instead of a dot
