Default Google Search results ???

Has anyone else notice this lately? or is it just me.
I just put two different keyword phrases in google and had gotten a higher count with the words in "Quotes" then without the quotes.
Normally, you should see a higher result count without the quotes then with them right ?

Not if google is trying to figure out what it is exactly
you want.

They may guess a broader topic, or a narrower one.

They even change your search words and add or subtract
from the results. They may even disregard the quotes.

Example, I do a search for

face book, get 16 million results. (They think I mean facebook)

"face book" I get 43 million results. (They still think I must mean facebook)
But because I put it in quotes, they are finding facebook pages and
pages with face book next to each other. So I get more results by
using quotes.

The bigger question is why are you looking at the # of results?

In terms of assessing competitiveness for a keyword phrase, it's a useless metric...
