A question about : APC tickets before 3 months

I need to book/check the return part of a journey (from B'hm to Chester on June 12) but neither RSH (Red Spot.. H) nor Split Ticket will allow a search. However I know that I can get a price and book this ticket at a low price from a local (Gobowen) station, and they advise I can also get it at other ticket offices. Why can't the searches find these tickets? It took me some wasted time and a journey to find this out.
All rail users need to know this fact (MSE please note!), and that much better prices than RSH, for example, can be found from some stations (eg. Gobowen, Chester-le-Street) as well as MSE. Unfortunately the first (Gobowen) station franchise can no longer accept Cards for payment and send them on to you - they used to. MSE seems to be able to equal the best prices, but only the station can quote for more than 3 months in advance!
