All Star Alliance airlines allow you to enter your program information - whatever FF program you're in and your member #. It will not state star alliance status during checkout and will allow you to purchase checked luggage even though you're entitled to free bags (if you're star gold). In some cases once booked, it will note free bags or whatever other perks on the reservation but this isn't always the case.

Why does it matter though? There are no Star Silver perks that would benefit you during the booking process. Again, Star Silver is essentially worthless.
