Pretty much all of AA's award space now is dynamic which will not show up at ExpertFlyer, what you're searching there is the legacy sAAver buckets.
If you just need a simple domestic award, then you're making things way too complicated by using EF, just search aa.com, you will see a myriad of flight award options and prices on any given day.
