Comments on Beta Power Search Feature

Hi KVS: Thanks for allowing me to beta test the new 7-day search feature. I focused my review on the Star alliance search since I am primarily a UA flyer. Here are my comments:

I agree with previous posters that having a larger window than +/- 7 days would be desirable. With this new feature, I can search an entire month with 4 clicks. Even if you decide not to go for a larger search window, this is a great improvement.

In the output window, consider adding a column for "date". The reason is that it sometimes get confusing looking at the "arrive" column which shows the time of arrival +X (where X is the day range).

It is somewhat confusing that it is possible to select a specific airline in two different areas of the same search. In the main box under the "Awards/StarAlliance-7D" window it is possible to specify a specific Star alliance carrier, or all of them. But then also under the "Filter" tab this is also possible. Is it really necessary to have this twice? Can cause confusion especially if the filter is not set to the same carrier as on the first page.
