Search engine allowing stopovers longer than 24 hours, flexible dates and several destinations

https://matrix.itasoftware.com allows each leg of a multi city itinerary to have a range of departure date OR arrival date. Google purchased ITA, so I suspect that Google Flights can also do something similar.

Also, in some of the searches I have made in other search engines, I have seen layovers of longer than a day shown, but I don't recall which.

I've been using https://www.stopo.org/ and it's pretty cool for searching flights with long stopovers when you don't know where to stopover

The issue here is less one involving search engines and more involving airline ticketing rules. It's very rare to find an airline that allows stopovers of more than 24 hours on a single ticket. Most allow fewer for domestic flights and about 24 hours for international flights (there are, of course, exceptions).

By limiting their output to what you're actually allowed to book these search engines are catering to customers who want to purchase their travel all on one ticket. If you want longer stopovers then, with a few exceptions, you'll need either to book multi-city tickets (via ITA Matrix or something similar) or just simply use your favorite search engine to book multiple tickets.

You need Nomad service (kiwi.com/nomad) of the Kiwi that allows up to 60 days of layover, multiple stops and connecting flights from different airlines.

Candidates for stopover destinations can be found in the cleverlayover, Kayak or Skyscanner with 1+ layovers filter prior the detailed search in the Nomad.
