Remember that the 'Null' value in the definition passes only properties that are exactly null. You cannot expect those items with a specific non-null value assigned to the property for which you are filtering to be displayed when you are searching on a null value. You can use a compound filter or define more filter criteria to return both the null and specific non-null values, but be sure to choose Match Any when defining the filter.
