Austrian's lets you select * carriers which is nice.
Yes, I remember the original Star booking engine. it was a bit useless and I'm not surprised people hardly used it. I found it much easier to talk to a human for complicated itins or book with my home carrier's website for the simple ones.
The day when a website can book a * RTW of the sort we all indulge in is the day travel agents are out of jobs for good
