SYMPTOMS

When you query a catalog that contains content from indexing Web sites, as well as content from indexing physical directories, and you use a "SortBy=Rank" and "OrderBy=[D]" (descending) query, the filename property in the result may be missing and the path property only contains the directory and not directory+filename.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the vpath element is listed in the columns' property before the path element. For example:
Q.Columns = "vpath, path, filename, DocTitle, Write, Size, Rank"

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, place the path element in the columns' property before the vpath element. For example: 
Q.Columns = "path, vpath, filename, DocTitle, Write, Size, Rank"

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
