Is there a way to search profiles in MOSS from the object model? I need to search for profiles that have a certain value set on their profile and then perform some action for them.

I need to write some c# code that can search the profiles database and return the matching profiles. Basically,

List of Profiles = Select Profiles From Profile Store Where Profile Property Value = SomeValue

I'm trying to avoid the following:

 private IEnumerable<UserProfile> SearchProfiles(string value) {
        ServerContext serverContext = ServerContext.GetContext(SPContext.Current.Site);
        UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(serverContext);
        foreach (UserProfile profile in profileManager) {
            if ((string)profile["MyProp"].Value == value) {
                yield return profile;
            }
        }
    }
