    It could be because of two things:
    1. The actual searcher's location which is different from yours.
    2. The ranking for those keywords might have changed (esp for longtail keywords)

    webmaster tools indicate average rating, so sometime you may rank in top, sometime lower for them.

    Other than that localisation and personalized results are another reason for why what you search for from your own pc does not correspond to the results displayed by webmaster tool, which takes into account ranking across all data servers.

    The ranking positions displayed in webmaster tools are the average ranking positions of your sites for the keywords shown which can vary greatly from your current ranking positions. To get accurate ranking reports, use a rank tracker.

    Because Webmaster Tools show keywords related to your site and not
    keywords used by Internet surfers.
