title/find vs title/v2/find -- determining number of results?

Question

Greetings.

When using **title/v2/find**, there is a field called "limit" under Optional Parameters. This allows one to determine the number of results.

In contrast, **title/find**, does not seem to have a similar option.

Question: Is there a way to limit or specify the number of results that will be presented by **title/find** ?

Probably not. But just thought I'd ask in case I was missing something.

Thanks for any clarification or advice.

Well, you can pre-fine the query to remove all special characters on client side.

Thanks for the comment.

Yes, "v2" certainly does have more features and allows for more precise searching.
Its functionality seems to match IMDb's "Advanced Search".

Interestingly, for the app we're making v1 tends to work better for us.
The reason is that V1 can better handle incorrectly spelt requests.

For instance, v2 is unable to get a result if you try to search for "20000 Leagues Under the Sea" ...
instead of using the correct title with the comma in the number: "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". 
Whereas v1 has no problems with "20000".

Hello,

That is why it is specified as v2. v2 means more features for example.
