Hello<

When inputting computer braille in the search feature of BP, be careful to
use the correct dot configurations.  Concerning the finding of the number
1991, you should enter dot 2, dots 3 and 5, dots 3 and 5, and then dot 2.
You received the quote symbol by using dot 5 instead of dot 2 for the number
one.

Incidentally, a friend has fashioned a holder for BP for inputting the
computer braille.  It's nothing fancy, just a block of wood with a recessed
area to accommodate the belt clip.  It sure helps inputting the correct
symbols by holding the unit steady.
