Emirates EK IEE1YDE1 FRA to MNL
Etihad Airways EY DRTDE FRA to MNL
When limiting to EY or EK in "Airline" field, KVS Tool returns the same set of results as when it is set to "All airlines" (see below).

Availability shows up ok for both (here example for EK):

What is wrong?
The [Fares/PSH] Engine is unable to restrict the results to certain airlines (such as EK). In such cases, all Fares (incl. EK Fares) will be shown, if applicable.

However, the IEE1YDE1 Fare is more expensive than the lowest ~30 Fares on that route:
