Using casual text for full year or months date ranges seems like it doesn’t work at all. Not sure if this is a bug or was just wasn’t built this way, but addressing this would go a long way in making the date picker easier to use.

Some examples:

**Casual Text Input:** 2025  
**Current Output:** Nothing, the input is cleared and no dates are set.  
**Expected Output:** Jan 1, 2025 - Dec 31, 2025

**Casual Text Input:** April 2024  
**Current Output:** April 1, 2024 - April 1, 2024 (Sets single day, instead of month’s full range)  
**Expected Output:** April 1, 2024 - April 31, 2024
