If you're running the CVS version of Beagle you should be able to find a
thing called "Search & Indexing" in your gnome control center (or
'beagle-settings' for the commandline kinda guy) which will allow you to
add other directories than $HOME for indexing, as well as exclude stuff
like directories, patterns and mail folders.
