Understanding Fare Rules

Looking for my first kind of MR experience. I have a specific route and now I have to find fares that would allow many stopovers in order to book at that fare. The problem is that every fare I can find hos a limit of 1 stopover, meaning I can't get many miles out of it.
Is there any way to search just for the fares that would allow me to add many flights to the route?

Thanks a lot for the kind help. It's the first time I'm trying this, and even after spending a couple of days reading everything, I still feel pretty lost around here.

If I understand your post correctly, the number of allowed stopovers is not your problem. What you are looking for are the routing rules for the particular fare, which you can't get on ITA (or the airline web site, or anywhere else but ExpertFlyer that I know of).

Thanks,
So how can I find fares that would allow me to create a long journey?
I tried to follow the guides and tutorials, no luck...

What airline. Some airlines are more lenient when it comes to routing rules than others. Most only allow 1 connect each direction on domestic itineraries.
