ideally yes

also should be settable to -1 to mean get all hits

I would suggest Beagle use  sqlite to buffer results to a temporary
table on disk (SQL : Create Temporary Table - it gets automatically
deleted when you close the db connection that created it) instead of
holding them in memory to avoid resource problems. 

Sqlite also provides paging (limit and offset) so you can kill two birds
with one stone if you use this!
