seach_dates not working for 'next week' #1163

search_dates is not giving any datetime output for 'next week' and 'next day'. It is able to identify for 'next month', 'next year', 'next sunday', 'after one week'.

It is also not working for after one week, it is giving before one week date. I have kept 'PREFER_DATES_FROM': 'future' as weel. Even though it is giving before one week date. text = I will call you after one week

[('one week', datetime.datetime(2023, 3, 28, 18, 23, 13, 704212))]

Hmm…

>>> search_dates("next week")
>>> search_dates("next week", languages=["en"])
[('next week', datetime.datetime(2023, 4, 17, 13, 0, 32, 396222))]

I wonder if the issue is that “next week” is being detected as non-English.

When you know the language of the text you are passing, though, passing the language is recommended. Not only it will be more accurate, it will also be faster.
