"it depends". I'm assuming that your case 1 is intended to be phrase searches whereas case 2 is just boolean (and specifically AND is the operator).
So, within 1 (assuming phrase queries) the results should NOT be the same, that is "sas institute" (as a phrase) should not return the same results as "institute sas", _unless_ a "slop factor" has been specified, which may be internally applied. "slop" (or, under the covers, Span queries) allow out-of-order phrases. I would expect the two queries in 2 to return the same results. whether you should get the same results from 1 as 2 depends on several things: a> whether the default operator is AND b> whether the phrase queries specify a slop c> whether other words are in between, e.g. "institute something something sas" Perhaps the best way to see what's going on would be to turn on highlighting and see if the returned documents make sense.
