"When I search on AA no QR flights come up."

Unfortunately, aa.com cannot display award-seat availability for QR flights. (You were given bad advice up-thread.) Call AA and ask.

For Emirates, check their website (or Google "Emirates airline wiki") to try to find a list of their frequent-flyer partners. Then, compare that list with the list of MR transfer partners and see if there are any matches. If there are, contact the partners to see if they have the Emirates award seats that you seek, and at what cost (miles + cash surcharges, if any). Do not transfer any MR points unless and until you can find Emirates award seats at a cost that is acceptable to you.
