Since you didn't post any code I have to speculate a bit...

I assume you are using OleDB/SQL to execute a query...

Neither QueryFocusedSummary nor QueryFocusedSummaryWithFallback are real columns and thus NOT available via OleDB/SQL !

The only columns available this way are AFAIK

AutoSummary 
Contents 
EntryID 
GatherTime 
Rank 
Store 

QueryFocusedSummary and QueryFocusedSummaryWithFallback are IIRC properties accessiable via COM or a Shell interface .
