It can be different things at different times.

What you are seeing when you see a bracketed call are either "partial calls" which
come from the partial call list, or possible calls, which are slightly different
which come from the patial call list and the TRMASTER.DTA database.

The bracketed call can be moved up to the call window by pressing the ; key.  You
can move the brackets around using the , and . key (notice the left and right
arrow for the shift value of these keys).

When is says "No calls found" it means that no calls match the call entered in the 
call window.  A matched call either matches the letters you have typed in so far
(for partial calls) or are the same as a call you have entered into the call window,
except for one character for possible calls.
