Description
It seems that the search_dates function has a bit of trouble with "day after tomorrow".
from dateparser.search import search_dates
search_dates("day after tomorrow")
[('tomorrow', datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 5, 11, 14, 16, 941615))]
dateparser.__version__
'1.0.0'
It seems to overfit on "tomorrow". The parse API also has a bit of difficulty with it.
from dateparser import parse
parse("day after tomorrow") # None

Research direction
Start by running the reported search_dates and parse examples against the current dateparser version, then trace those two API entry points to see how “day after tomorrow” is interpreted. Done means both APIs recognize the phrase as the date after tomorrow, with tests covering the reported behavior.
