Thanks for your help. I noticed I was missing the /F in my commands. Now, I need to figure out how to book this flight, since none of the online booking sites seem to bring it up.

I also noticed that when I try to add a third leg in multicity search using the same valid syntax, I will get an error message.

lax/ tyo
depart:LAX / F SQ.LAX+TYO.VMSP3
destination:TYO

tyo/ lax
depart:TYO / F SQ.TYO+LAX.VMSP3
destination:LAX

yvr/ sea
depart:yvr
destination:sea

Error

My guesses why ITA does not give you valid search result are:
1. missing "/F" from your syntax
2. your departure date (if you are using "Specific dates search") is not Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu. The fare does not allow Fri/Sat/Sun departure and/or not from January 18 through March 26.
3. Violation of minimum/maximum stay requirement
4. No V class seat(s) on your travel date(s)
