The order of the search terms can affect the ranking order of pages in the search results.

Sometimes, you don't see a difference, and sometimes you do. There can be different meanings or intentions behind the word order, so it makes sense to consider word order. Pages with the words in the same order as the query itself (or with inbound links that have those words in the same order) should get a boost for that exact match -- although other factors clearly get folded into the recipe as well.

So sometimes you will see a difference, but not every time.
