ITA Matrix / Google Flight Not Showing Direct Route
Looking at flight options for BTU - FOC , ITA Matrix / Google Flight gives plenty of suggestions but not the most direct / shortest being :
MH BTU - KUL
MF KUL - FOC
This is the only combination that has 1 stop, but it does not come up on ITA Matrix or Google Flights which give a 2 stop option at best. However when searching individually these flights show up.
I've tried tinkering with the setting on ITA Matrix but cannot reproduce the above route in a single booking. I've been relying on these 2 website to search for the best routing so was wondering if there are alternative or is there something I should be doing ? ie looking at all the airlines that service a particular airport .... or just searching from hub airport and determine my own feeder to get there.

Thanks ! I tried Oct 13 on GF and indeed the results are the same as yours. However ITA Matrix does not show this flight for the same date.

I also tried looking for dates in August / Sept on GF but again showing flights that is not the most direct / shortest. ie no BTU - KUL - FOC
