You can't look for codeshare awards. You need to look at the operating airline's availability on EF. If the right fare class is available, then it's time to look at your FF plan's portal. If the operating airline makes those seats available to the partner, they'll show up. If not, then it's likely because their agreement has limitations on what inventory is shared, and you're out of luck.
