For example here I use / alliance star-alliance ;-redeye to look for only Star Alliance operated flights and to avoid searching for any redeye flights. the ; allows you to add another code and the – sign negates all redeyes.
I see Dan on the ddms wrote about a redeye search what is that suppose to me? What's a redeyed search?

Lately when putting in airline code in advanced routing like DL or UA nothing is coming up. Am I missing something?
