Tracking down PE partner award space

Topic referenced above seems to be a rather difficult task. Asking you all for advice on the best ways to do this. For example, I am looking for international PE space on OW & *A airlines. ExpertFlyer lets me check BA on OW, but not JAL or CX. On *A, it lets me check Air Canada but not Singapore, ANA or Lufthansa (none of the latter shows PE cabin as a choice but I know they exist on the relevant routes).

Qantas & BA's site show nothing coming up on OW carriers. I distrust at least Qantas, as the result is "we found nothing matching blah blah..." for a span of several months into the future (even when no cabin selection has been made yet).

UA's site shows some availability (didn't check which carriers, as the mile cost was too high - more than business in most cases). There doesn't seem to be a "saver" for PE (keep in mind I am looking for partner space). Air Canada's site doesn't let you specify PE and lumps Economy & PE together, and all search results are economy. ANA is the only carrier that shows availability and good prices, but I don't want to book round trip and am unsure how/if I can see this space from a partner site. Does anyone know if ANA's space (ANA only shows it's own space for PE, not partners) is accessible to partners or if that is not necessarily available to others?

Overall, it looks like PE is very much half-baked from an award perspective and quite frustrating.
