Description of your pull request and other information
The current regular expression used to find the next page link of the search results does not work. As a result, no link is found and there is an unintentional limit to the first page of search results (20 results. If a search is made for with a specified limit of 50, youtube-dl will not find a link to the next page and report that only 20 results were found (even if there were more on any potential next pages).
This PR updates the regular expression in question. Rather than removing the offending part of the regex, I have simply made it optional for backwards compatibility or in case the next page link is changed back.
