Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/534

Describe the bug

When i search songs with a filter query like the code below, and sending the limit, i'm getting always 20 results, instead of 10:

search_song_results = ytmusic.search(
    query=f"{title} {artist}",
    filter="songs",
    scope=None,
    limit=10,
    ignore_spelling=False
)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create the YTMusic object
Call the method search, sendig all the params
Print the len of the resulting list: print(len(results))
See error when the len is 20 instead the limit value

Additional context

In other scenary, if i put the limit on 30, i get 40 results in the list.
