Maybe the varying results can be explained by your searches being routed to different servers, with each server having slightly different indexes or algorithms?

Do you see the same issue when disconnected from the web?

Why would servers be involved in local search? But this raises a good point: mixing local and web search by default is stupid and confusing as well.

I actually turn off all the annoying web targets, I’m mainly interested in launching apps (which frankly should simplify the problem and make reliable results more likely).
