Question on flights disappearing in online searches

I've been looking at flights from Minneapolis to Ft. Lauderdale in the last week or so and there were several non-stop flights to and fro. and now I look today and there are none? I am looking to travel the last weekend of February and am wondering if those flights got all booked up in the last week? But, I also checked the weekend before and the weekend after and there are no non-stop flights

Is it possible that more non-stop flights may become available if I wait a day or two? I'd rather take a non-stop flight so wondering if anyone has any opinions on this. but will stop if I have to....just trying to avoid that.

thanks!

Chances are many of those flights would be on Delta. This weekend Delta is doing massive database shuffling and combining along with flight number changing and all sorts of "stuff." Many flights may "disappear" for a while, only to reappear later. Give it until Monday and try again.

It's the Delta Northwest shuffle with the NW coded flight numbers soon to disappear.

Good - my pea brain has problems dealing with one reservation / two airlines. We were able to confirm seats on our Delta flights out, but it was too early to get them coming back on Northwest. I checked again today because I was bored and no problem even though it's more than 90 days out. Jumped on those puppies and am content for a little while longer.
