One forum member at WebmasterWorld thinks that Google might be using different data centers for query refinements. The reason he suspects this is because he's performing the same search but finding different results.
It's possible that if Google is realizing that users are not happy with those search results (since they searched again) and are offering a different set of results.

Google launches new feature in SERP
New boxes will be displayed in the top right section of the results page (SERPs) sharing the reasoning behind the placement of listings for their search.
The Official Google Blog says -
You'll see these new messages whenever your search results have been customized based on one or more of the following types of information
Location By default, we identify your approximate city location based on your computer's IP address and use it to customize your search results.
Recent searches We take into account whether a particular query followed on the heels of another query. Because recent search activity provides such valuable context for understanding the meaning behind your searches, we use it to customize your results whenever possible, regardless of whether you're signed in or signed out.
Web History If you're signed in and have Web History enabled, we customize your search results based on what you've searched for in the past on Google, and what web sites you've visited. One important note about Web History: it belongs to you and you have complete control over it. You can remove specific items or pause the service at any time.

Google integrates code search in main results page
Google has integrated results from Code Search as snippets in the main search results page.
Google Code Search - service from Google designed to allow programmers and others seek out computer code from across the web and was launched on Oct 5.2005.
It's beneficial as it can help new developers see how other experienced developers solve certain problems and learn from their techniques, and helps experienced developers to locate code snippets and build on them in their own code. But as with most anything, Google Code Search can be used for malicious intentions.

Google's John Mueller: very long URLs can hurt rankings.
In a Google Groups discussion, Google's John Mueller mentioned on a specific URL as being a bit too long for comfort.
The URL in question is :
http://www.gadgetguy.com.au/small-kitchen-appliances-toaster-kettle-coffee-machine-blender-juicer-channel7-sunrise-australia-42.html
John said "Now I'm all for having descriptive URLs, but .... this seems to be taking it a bit too far and I have a bit of trouble identifying anything that matches in the content of your page"
It seems he is pointing out the URL as being something that may raise a red flag in Google.

This is what Matt Cutts - head of Google's webspam team has to say
Spotlight your search term on the page.
"Think about what people are going to type in to try and find you," Cutts says. He tells of meeting a chiropractor (a person whose job is to treat diseases by adjusting a person's joints, especially those in the back) from San Diego who complained that his site couldn't be found easily using Google search. The words "San Diego chiropractor" were listed nowhere on his site.
"You have to make sure the keywords are on the page," Cutts says.

Google Says No To Guaranteed Rankings
This is what Google has to say -
At Ultraseo - we don't guarantee No.# 1 rankings. What we do guarantee is -
Optimization of your site without breaking search engine guidelines. Guarantee is only possible if you control the search engine's, so that you can tweak them when it suits you.
If any seo company offer gurantee rankings in Google, it may be for non-competitive keywords. If no one searches for those keywords, even top rank in Google is not going to help.
The only way to get high search engine rankings and staying there is good web page content any playing by the rules.
"No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google. Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a "special relationship" with Google, or advertise a "priority submit" to Google."
