Description

When I pass the string "timestamp">timestamp 24-Aug-2021 11:00" to search_dates, I would naturally expect it to return [('24-Aug-2021 11:00', datetime.datetime(2021, 8, 24, 11, 0))], however, it actually returns [('11:00', datetime.datetime(2021, 8, 24, 11, 0)), ('24-Aug-2021', datetime.datetime(2021, 8, 24, 0, 0))]. In other words, it separates the date and the hours

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported search_dates call with "timestamp">timestamp 24-Aug-2021 11:00 and compare its returned entries with the expected single combined result. Trace the search_dates entry point and its date/time separation behavior; done means the date and time are returned together while existing parsing behavior remains intact.
