Weird google behavior

I just check the indexed pages of my site in google. Searched for "site:mydomain.com".

In the first query, I received about 33,000 results, which is the same value that I had yesterday. Over the last few days, I noticed a decline in traffic to my site that is related to fewer indexed pages in google.

Then I ran the same query again and received 527,000 results.

Then I ran the query again after a minute or so, and it was back to 33,000 results.

After another minute, it's now back to 527,000 results.

Now, if google was updating it's index, shouldn't the switch to the new index be consistent for users?
Do they redirect some search queries to the old index and some to the new index?

Sucks mucho.
