Description
I pieces of text where there are often two months concatenated by an "and" and then a year.
Like:
April and May 2019or
June and July 2018
I could not really figure out how to get at least one date out of it by using search_dates and settings 'PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH' only works if its 'Month Year' and not 'Month and Month Year'

Research direction
Start with the search_dates entry point and the PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH setting, using the reported examples such as "April and May 2019" as reproduction cases. Done means these month-and-year strings no longer return None and at least one date is extracted.
