I'm quite confused with the new Planner - when I searched for a specific keyword in the old Keywords Tool it gave me around 40k global searches, but when I searched for the same keyword in the new Planner, it shows 10 (ten) global searches. I don't get it, there is some new algorithm or maybe the new Planner just doesn't have all the data yet?

True. It is very confusing. Especially when they say that this value should be higher, because not only the standard devices are counted.

It depends on the match type. All the queries I have tried recently are bigger in volume for exact match. (Same country and language)

And where before it was public, now it's only viewable when logged into an AdWords account. I used to refer clients to it for keyword inspiration when writing content for SEO purposes, but this is no longer an option.

Sadly. I also liked this option. I wonder how much it will affect people dealing with SEO.

What are the alternative? We couldn't have all been so complacent that there aren't any good keyword tool alternative is there? Perhaps, it's time for a google scrapper? If google won't give you the data, maybe it can be inferred?

scrape it from where? That tool is the only real souce for how many local people are searching for a keyword
