Default google keyword tool broken?

It's only showing 3-10 results for terms that usually show 150 results.

Does anybody else see the same?

Looks okay to me, make sure you have the right language and country selected.

Trust me, I'm a professional user of this tool :-) It stopped working correctly for me about two hours ago.

So it wasn't just me.

Also, sometimes the results are returned in a _very_ small font.

And, to top it all off, the API returns severely broken XML...

This tool is not really an example of the usual Google quality.

I would be very happy if they would implement substring matching for the search indices, as well as return all results instead of the top 150. Those would be the two killer features. And of course, fix the broken XML output...

I bet they would fix the broken XML, but the other two - my intuition tells me that they would view it as giving away way too much information.
