Nope but you can use ITA or that.

The extra $700 is because of the fare class, not the layover in IAH. Discount economy is around $1100 for that flight but you would only earn 50% on Aegean.

Thanks.
How can I search on ITA for a longer routing? Can I enter s/t that would only search for trips in excess of x miles?

I honestly don't know. Dan posted an extensive analysis of ITA here on DD.

Thanks, saw those as well.
I find that chk'ing on AA and including all the partners, gives lower rates then those shown on ITA and Kayak.
I found $980 through LHR and ORD, and ORD and MAD on the return.

Nice. What's the dates on the $980. (I am using a GDS, not ITA and Kayak)

Just booked for 1,007. Chose this since I don't arrive at midnight in CLE.
I leave Tuesday, and return Sunday.
This is the second time that searching 'all carriers' on AA gave me a rate significantly better than the regular search engines.

Anyone know why ITA doesn't find these prices?

This may not belong in this thread...but which airline/alliance has the cheapest cancel/change date fee?

I need a flight but it needs to be a flight that can be cancelled or the dates changed

Thats way too broad of a question. On ITA (matrix) you can read fare rules and penalties for all tickets you search for
