ITA Matrix shows business class search shows economy fares...

Hi,

New user here, apologies if this has been discussed before.

I recently started using ITA Matrix for searching flights between Vienna to SE Asia. I am not sure it's working right because when I select a flight from Vienna to Manila for example in Sept or Oct 2013 with 20 days trip duration, the lowest fares return show economy fare tickets. Why would it do that if I chose business class or higher? Ironically when I select simple economy class, the search returns cheaper economy fares than the business or higher search... I don't understand, I thought the whole point of selecting cabin class was to find the lowest available business or first class fare on a given day or month...

Concrete example using ITA Business class or higher option: Sept 28 - Oct 19
- 1168 euros with 2 stops (fare code: S, X, B and S depending on the leg)

Concrete example using ITA Economy class option:
- 867 euros with 2 stops (fare codes L, N or S depending on the leg)

Can anyone help me out on this? I am planning my honeymoon for the Fall and would love to find a good deal on Business class.

Thanks so much in advance!

Will
