"Phrase matching" in query?

[vrgoogler]

Does the Google AJAX API support "phrase matching"?

When I wrap double quotes around my keyword, I get a different
"estimatedResultCount" than the one I see right from Google.com search
pages.

I am doing this in PHP...

For example:

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q="paris+hilton"&gl=us

I see: Results 1 - 10 of about 38,700,000 for "paris hilton"

For Google AJAX API:

$keyword = '"paris hilton"';
$keyword = urlencode($keyword);

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&rsz=large&safe=moderate&filter=1&hl=en&gl=us&q=$keyword&start=0

[estimatedResultCount] => 4,990,000


==================

The result count is off by over 30 million. Any idea why?

This is a known bug in the estimatedResultCount property. Quite
frankly, estimatedResultCount is generally wildly inaccurate and
should not be depended on for mission-critical applications.
