I doubt this is specific to the open panel. I suspect you're looking at a folder which is excluded from Spotlight. Does your file show up with a file search in the Finder? In the Spotlight menu?
Check the Spotlight pane of System Preferences, in particular the Privacy tab. Also, I think there are still some system directories which are excluded from Spotlight by default, although information about that seems scarce or outdated.
