Confused About How Google Reads Search Queries

Just learning about SEO, and I'm trying to wrap my head around how Google reads search queries.

I thought that Google reads every word with the logical operator '+' between it. So, for example, it would read "Flowershops Asia" as "Flowershops" + "Asia". I was also under the impression that the '+' means 'and' or 'in' or other small words of that variety, so Google omits them when reading queries. So "Flowershops in Asia" would still read "Flowershops" + "Asia" to Google which is why it would return the exact same results as the search query "Flowershop Asia".

However, I noticed that terms like these often have different search volumes. "Flowershops Asia" and "Flowershops in Asia" have differing search volumes which seems to suggest that Google treats them as two different search queries?

Any light anyone can shed on the issue to help me understand this better would be greatly appreciated. I'd especially love to be pointed towards any literature or writing that would help me understand this better.
