Research direction

Start at the search_dates entry point and reproduce the issue with 'next week' and 'next day', comparing the results with 'next month', 'next year', and 'after one week'. Trace the relative-date parsing path and add coverage showing that both phrases produce datetime output without breaking the existing cases.
