AFAIK, the only way to skip one file and load the next is when SEARCHING FOUND X appears, press Run/Stop and type LOAD again.
Also, AFAIK, on the C64, the only difference I've noticed between pressing Space or C= is that the Space is held in the keyboard buffer during loading, which sometimes caused a few minor problems, such as pre-loading messages with e.g.: 'Press any key to continue' disappearing immediately.

I think there isn't  . So far the only options I knew of were either C= or Run/Stop (or just wait). Other keys have no effect. The only case when pressing C= will skip loading the current file is if you typed LOAD"filename", and this filename and the current filename don't match.

Is there any way to skip current title and search for next? (I mean to scan the tape when one does not knot the title).

Pressing C= will start loading the program immediately. On Plus/4, pressing Space has no effect.
(On C64, at least some turbos will start loading if you press Space, similarly to pressing C= ... But I may be wrong; the Kernal load routine may also treat Space similarly to C=).

Once again a question for old tapes:
When you hit "LOAD", tape motor starts, and screen becomes blue. Well, when a filename is found, it is shown on screen for a while. Here you can press [spacebar] for load it, or [CBM] for... ?
If I remember right, the [CBM] does not skip to next title as it happens on C64.
Your opinion?
