Google Testing Showing Search Volume Numbers In AdWords Keyword Tool

Google Keyword Tool Showing Number of Previous Month’s Searches from adamap.com shows a screen capture of Google showing actual numbers in search volume for the previous month for keywords. I logged into my AdWords account, and went to the keyword tool, typed in an example search – but I did not see the numbers. All I saw were green bars that “represents a general low-to-high quantitative guide” based on a 1 to 5 scale (more details here). But adamap.com has a screen capture showing actual numbers, which Google has never shown before.
