However, when I add YOW, YUL, and CAN to the mix (no other changes), it no longer offers TK as an option (even though YYZ-TPE is still something it should have searched & offered):
Known hehaviour and also an issue with GDS, if you give them too many options to search, you get less good results. With GDS you even have to specify a lot of times the actual airline, otherwise they can't find the cheapest fare since they time out before they would request fares from that specifc airline.
