Fare search engine with date range?
When I use Expedia or even some of the meta search engines, I can usually only search fares for specific days - with some airline search engines, I can look for +/- 3 days.
But what if I would like to go to, e.g., PPT from MUC or anywhere else in Europe and I don't really care when exactly, I just want to find the cheapest flights in the months of November, December, January.
Are there any search engines where I could just enter a huge date range and let them spit out the cheapest roundtrip possibilities?
Thanks for any advice, and apologies if I should have found the answer to this question via search (didn't find it).

ITA can do exactly that over a period of a month ("Month-long search"). It works great, as you can specify airlines, routings, booking classes, etc using their syntax, but the drawback of course is that you can't actually buy tickets, though you can normally replicate the findings on sites like Orbitz, etc.
If you're a Firefox user, there are some greasemonkey scripts around (created by a FTer) which further extend the options in the month-long ITA search.

Awesome, thank you - trying it out right now.
Any way I can tell the tool to specifically look for business class fares?
