Description
06/02/2024 in portuguese is a date in February, but date parser 1.1.8 parses as a date in June.
>>> from dateparser.search import search_dates
>>> d = search_dates("Atualizado por Victória Sbrogio em 06/02/2024 16:22", languages=["pt"])
>>> d
[('em 06/02/2024 16:22', datetime.datetime(2024, 6, 2, 16, 22))]
