Description

Thanks for your great package, but I have an issue, please look:

input = 'afghanistan Independence Day, 19 August (1919)'
search_dates(input)

the output is
[('August', datetime.datetime(2021, 8, 20, 0, 0)),
('1919', datetime.datetime(1919, 8, 20, 0, 0))]
it didn't give the right date

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by running search_dates on the supplied Afghanistan Independence Day string and compare the returned dates with the date expressed by the input. Trace the parser path that handles the parenthesized year; done means the input is interpreted as the intended date rather than separate August and 1919 results.
