Both sites have differnt ways that they do searches, they might look for meta tags or for the first real word content, there are many ways for searches to be carried out and that is why if you are looking for something sometimes going to multiple search engines can give you the answer you want.

Why do Burger King & McDonalds burgers taste different?
Because they're different brands with different ingredients.
