dueWithin query clarification...?

dandykins says:
I am interested in using RTM for my GTD process, and as such I followed the GTD blog post on the RTM blog. Like the post's author, it would be useful for me to see uncompleted tasks due a week prior and a week ahead from today.

However, when I use the dueWithin query (as in "dueWithin:1 week of today") I only receive incomplete tasks that are due within a week into the future, not the past week.

Perhaps I misunderstood the query itself. Does dueWithin only return tasks that are due a specified time interval in the future, or both in the future and in the past as well?

The query "dueBefore:today" is also not returning results, even though I have several incomplete tasks that were due before today.

Thanks for any tips/suggestions!

dueWithin and dueBefore are similar, the only difference is that dueWithin doesn't show overdue tasks. Your query dueBefore:today should work, try again.

I have yet to discover a way to find tasks due in the last week/yesterday etc. Either I get all or none, no way to get only some overdue tasks.
