[YouTube-API] Playlist Keyword Query

I'm having a lot of trouble properly utilizing the keyword query for
YouTube playlists. I've tried using both the Zend Gdata framework and
the REST API, with and without providing my API key. I always seem to
get a much smaller result set than what conventional YouTube web-based
search provides. I am of course incrementing the start-index and
calling getNextFeed in Zend. Is it the case that the keyword search
only returns recent playlists? If so, is there a way around this? Or
maybe is the keyword query not searching the titles/descriptions of
the playlists and are in stead searching categories or some other
metadata?

REST returns less than 90 results

YouTube search returns several hundred thousand results
