Hey been using this library for a few days, its great but the limit parameter doesn't seem to be working for me.

>>> len(YTMusic().search("Crab Rave", filter="songs")
20
>>> len(YTMusic().search("Crab Rave", filter="songs", limit=1))
20

Python - 3.10.1
ytmusicapi - 0.19.5

Server side minimum is 20, so you'll always get multiple of 20
