Once you click that you can Star Alliance search away on any route.
Followed your instruction and it worked like a charm! Thanks!

Search the same flight twice in a multi-destination search to solve the problem.

So if you want IAH-FRA on 4/3 select the multi-destination option and search:

4/3 IAH-FRA
4/3 IAH-FRA

The first row will error out but the 2nd will work.

Thanks Bryan. This is great to know. Based on this, it seems like LH F availability for flights within 7 days of departure is about 80-90% accurate when displayed as 'available' on UA website as compared to ANA tool (ANA tool is the gold-standard).
