Yahoo Query Language Problem

Hello everybody!

Today, I've started with Yahoo Query Language. I would use it to retrive stocks details, so I'm talking about Yahoo Finance.

I think there is a bug on this language. This is my query:

select * from yahoo.finance.quoteslist where symbol='@^GSPC'

I ALWAYS get 51 results!

it's impossible, take a look at: http://it.finance.yahoo.com/q/cp?s=^GSPC

There are 500 results!

I also tried some paging parameters.

select * from yahoo.finance.quoteslist(50,30) where symbol='@^GSPC' (to get from 50 to 80)

select * from yahoo.finance.quoteslist(100) where symbol='@^GSPC' (to get the first 100 results)

select * from yahoo.finance.quoteslist where symbol='@^GSPC' limit 30 offset 50

but ALWAYS the last stock is:

<quote symbol="BBY">
            <Symbol>BBY</Symbol>
            <LastTradePriceOnly>41.03</LastTradePriceOnly>
            <LastTradeDate>5/7/2010</LastTradeDate>
            <LastTradeTime>4:00pm</LastTradeTime>
            <Change>-0.48</Change>
            <Open>41.35</Open>
            <DaysHigh>42.35</DaysHigh>
            <DaysLow>39.60</DaysLow>
            <Volume>14129531</Volume>
</quote>

Why do I have this kind of problem?

Thank you so much for your support!

(P.S. I've tested it on Yahoo YQL console)
