openrepeater book sending different results than chirp query results

Description
I know this is probably more of a problem with repeater book. so you can just close this ticket.
my latitude = 38.130340 longitude = -122.233780
if I go to repeater book website and query all 2m 1.25m 70cm FM repeaters within 100 miles. I get one set of repeaters.
If I use chip "query source" I get a different set of repeaters. I get a different set of repeaters.
I would say 90%-95% of the repeaters are the same. I think the difference is chirp is including closed relaters. Any chance of a filter that can filter out closed repeaters?

CHIRP's distance filter is in kilometers, but repeaterbook's is in miles I think. Perhaps that's the reason?
I don't want to exclude all closed repeaters because those are still useful to the people that are allowed to use them. I've never seen repeaterbook not include closed repeaters in its search, unless you're selecting a filter to exclude them?
