@ Gary --- I had the same problem earlier this month on two keyword searches for longer keyword phrases in G.   Let's call these keywords "B" and "D".   The decreased volume for "B" and "D" were at least  30% each.   The shorter tail phrases ("A" and "C") were well within normal fluctuations (up slightly).

I do not document the results when I check G's auto suggested searches but my guess was that the order of G's auto-suggested results changed.

So, although SEO Moz search results still show No. 1 position for the keyword, the other critical question is whether G "randomly" moved the cheese by reordering the suggested search phrases.
