You were you able to find it programatically, right?
If so, then it's the form.  Try just searching using a form that searches
the exact same proerty as the prgramatical search...example:

<dtml-in "Catalog(vendor='MyVendor')">
<dtml-var id>
</dtml-in>

<form action="CatReport" method="get">
<h2><dtml-var document_title></h2>
<tr><th>Vendor</th>
<td><input name="vendor"
width=30 value=""></td></tr>

<tr><td colspan=2 align=center>
<input type="SUBMIT" name="SUBMIT" value="Submit Query">
</td></tr>
</table>
</form>


What happens?
