The Spotlight menu bar search will return results on things, such as the contents of Safari cache and history files, which are not automatically included in a Finder search. Thus the number of items returned for any given search will often be quite different. To get a match between the two you need to add the criterion "Spotlight Items" to the Finder search. Don't remember whether that is in the default list or not, if not go to Others in the criteria drop down, then scroll down to "Spotlight Items" and select it, and put a check mark next to it so it will always be available quickly in the drop down menu. Oh, and when you bring it up the default is selected of "don't include" (which is asinine) so you need to select include. Every time.
