Search for all Tasks of "Friday" don't show repeating tasks

Hello,
i try to use time estimates for planning my week. I would like to know how much time i need every day of the week to complete my tasks. Based on that information i can reorganize my tasks in a realistic way.
But the printable planner does not show the time estimates, and the total time of the tasks for a specific day is missing, too.
So i tried to create some smartlists getting the total time estimates for every day of the week. But this don't work like expected.
For today and tomorrow it works:
status:incomplete AND isShared:false AND due:today
status:incomplete AND isShared:false AND due:tuesday
but for the next day the daily repeating tasks are missing:
status:incomplete AND isShared:false AND due:wednesday
In the printplanner-view the repeating tasks are correctly listed for all days of the week.
How do i have to write my query to get all tasks that are due in 3 days, including repeating tasks?

Hey Carsten,
Wasn't sure if you wanted due in 3 days AND is repeating or due in 3 days OR is repeating. But, one of these should work.
due:"3 days" and isRepeating:true
due:"3 days" or isRepeating:true
Does that help?

Hi Andrew,
i tried your queries.
due:"3 days" and isRepeating:true
shows me only the tasks that are repeating tasks and the next due date is in 3 days
due:"3 days" or isRepeating:true
shows me all tasks that are repeating (ignoring the date) and all that are due on monday
so both don't show what i am searching for.
Maybe the search i need is not possible at the moment. When i complete a repeating task it says something like "deleting task, creating new task". So i think the repeating tasks in the future are still not there when i want to search them.
But the printplaner view can get this information. Maybe it uses an internal function of RTM and not a smartlist-generated view.

Yes, that's correct; at most you'll see the next instance of a repeating task (if the due date for the current one has already passed).

If you choose to use ranbarton's method, you can duplicate the tasks to get the number you need without having to recreate them.

Today i noticed that the gmail and iGoogle-Versions show the repeating tasks. Of cause they are not clickable cause they are still not really there.
So it think i will use this views for planning my week.
