I was wondering how one would search a date range like you stated?

Edited to Add: Got it - apparently a "new" feature:

Power Search (Multi-Day Availability Search)
  • Power Search can be used to locate Award or Upgrade Availability across a multiple date range.
  • The maximum date range is 31-210 days (depending on the Weekday(s) selected) for all Methods.
  • To use Power Search:
    • Goto the [Filter] Tab and set your Filter criteria (for example, "Availability Required in Classes FS/CS").
    • Return to the [Awards/Upgrades] Tab.
    • Click the [Power Search] () button, select the desired date range, and click the [Start] button.
    • The Tool will initiate a series of searches across the requested date range until at least one flight matching the [Filter] criteria is found.
    • To continue the Power Search after it has been completed, click the [Power Search] button again.
    • To terminate the Power Search at any time, click the red [Stop] button (or press <Esc>.
  • Note: Power Search is designed to locate hard-to-find Award Availability matching specific criteria across a long date range, not provide long lists of easy-to-find awards (like an Award Calendar).

    Edited to Add 2: The CowTool AC award searcher is the best for a range of dates as well as destinations...
