Why do IE 7 and Firefox 2.0.0.14 give totally different Google search
results?

I have been checking my website ratings in Google. I was puzzled to find
totally different results depending on which browser I use. I thought
Google search results would be the same what ever browser but it appears not
so.

My site is http://www.tbandu.co.uk.

My first initial search query using IE.
search term "tb" position 16 out of 230,000,000
My first initial search query using Firefox.
search term "tb" position 903 out of 230,000,000

My second search query using IE.
search term "tuberculosis" position 50, out of 12,800,000
My second search query using Firefox.
search term "tuberculosis" position not in first 1000, out of 12,800,000.


So I wonder which are the real results. When promoting my site
do I say using the search term "tuberculosis" my site is in the top fifty or
is it really not in the top 1,000?

Be very interested in your replies.
