Morph Chart/ Search Discrepancy

I'm currently puzzled why I get a different number of occurrences of a Hebrew verb when I use the morphology charts to when I do a morph search.

Morph searching  "lemma:בין@V" I get 170 hits (BHS SESB) but with the morphology chart only 151

With a less common verb, the difference is smaller but still present.

For example - ברא - this gives me 46 hits in a morphology chart but 48 searching "lemma:ברא:1@V"
By comparing results, it appears that it is not picking up an instance in Ps 140:30 which has a more unusual form יִבָּרֵא֑וּן - which I think has a paragogic nun.  However, if one search picks this up I can't see why both would not.

Can anyone identify what I might be doing wrong to get different results from these searches?
