:echomsg synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),0),"name")

synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name")

some highlighted syntax item (such as between |bars|) just under the
cursor.
I'm using gvim 7.4.16 (Huge) with GTK2/GNOME2 GUI.
I'm using vim 7.3 on Windows 7. When I issue:
:echomsg synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),0),"name")
:echomsg synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),0)),"name")
:echomsg synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name")
:echomsg synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),1)),"name")
I get:
qfFileName
Directory
qfFileName

It's interesting that you don't see the current quickfix item
highlighted. I thought that maybe I set something to turn on
quickfix highlighting, but I can't seem to find the switch. I
searched the web and the quickfix help to see if quickfix is
*suppose* to highlight the current item by default, but didn't find
indications of that either.
I get the same as you do if I do :copen first. What I referred to was
the current quickfix item as found _in the text_ by :cnext, with no
quickfix window actually open.
I see this item as blue on white, and doing ":verbose hi qfFileName"
in the quickfix window gives
qfFileName xxx links to Directory
Last set from /usr/local/share/vim/vim74/syntax/qf.vim
The Search highlight, OTOH, is black on yellow. Not at all the same
thing for me, which makes me ask: Which colorscheme are you using?
To link qfFileName to something else, or to define specific colours
for it, just use a new or modified colorscheme.
To modify a colorscheme, first copy it to ~/.vim/colors/ (for *x
systems) or to ~/vimfiles/colors (for Windows), change its name, and
modify it there (including setting g:colors_name to the new name);
then alter the calling line so that it calls the new name. It is not
possible to invoke colorschemes recursively (or at least, I tried and
didn't succeed).
Sorry, Tony -- I need to differ with you on this.
syntax/qf.vim is a syntax file; it is not a colorscheme, and it is
unnecessary to modify or alter any colorschemes.
Instead, if you wish to override qfFileName, etc, put your alterations into
$HOME/after/syntax/qf.vim
Therein, you may put things such as
hi link qfFileName Special
hi qfSeparator guifg=SeaGreen1 guibg=orange3
Doing so will override syntax/qf.vim's selection of default colors.

hm, yes, that would also work; but usually I prefer not to meddle with a
syntax script if the syntax analysis is OK but the choice of colours is
not to my taste. A colour scheme can change the colours any which way,
it may replace yellow by pink in one highlight group, remove a highlight
link in one place, add one in another place… Anything that involves only
colours can be done by a colorscheme, provided that the different
colours you want to set belong to different highlight groups, at least
before taking highlight links into account.
I already have my own ~/.vim/colors/almost-default.vim (which sets only
the colours which I want different from the default) so for me it is
easy to tweak this or that highlight definition by putting all colour
changes in this one place.
Best regards,
Tony.

`Lasu' Releases SAG 0.3 -- Freeware Book Takes Paves For New World Order
by staff writers
...
The SAG is one of the major products developed via the Information
Superhighway, the brain child of Al Gore, US Vice President. The ISHW
is being developed with massive govenment funding, since studies show
that it already has more than four hundred users, three years before
the first prototypes are ready. Asked whether he was worried about the
foreign influence in an expensive American Dream, the vice president
said, ``Finland? Oh, we've already bought them, but we haven't told
anyone yet. They're great at building model airplanes as well. And _ I
can spell potato.'' House representatives are not mollified, however,
wanting to see the terms of the deal first, fearing another Alaska.
Rumors about the SAG release have imbalanced the American stock
market for weeks. Several major publishing houses reached an all time
low in the New York Stock Exchange, while publicly competing for the
publishing agreement with Mr. Wirzenius. The negotiations did not work
out, tough. ``Not enough dough,'' says the author, although spokesmen
at both Prentice-Hall and Playboy, Inc., claim the author was incapable
of expressing his wishes in a coherent form during face to face talks,
preferring to communicate via e-mail. ``He kept muttering something
about jiffies and pegs,'' they say.
