Description

BHello,
The STRICT_PARSING use is not so easy to understand.
Example with release 1.0.0

parse('90 days',settings={'STRICT_PARSING':True})
Result: datetime.datetime(2020, 8, 3, 16, 24, 8, 599042)

Same issue with search :

search.search_dates('90 days',settings={'STRICT_PARSING':True})
result: [('90 days', datetime.datetime(2020, 8, 3, 16, 27, 8, 382830))]

I expected None result
Or is it another solution to avoid relative date results ? Only if day, month and year are found.

Best Regards

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported parse() and search.search_dates() examples with STRICT_PARSING enabled. Trace where STRICT_PARSING is handled for relative dates; done means the behavior for inputs such as “90 days” matches the documented expectation, with regression coverage for both entry points.
