It seems to be the problem (solution?), also like dBera suggested. I did
more queries using beagle-query (I forgot to test it earlier...) and
restricted my queries to certain mime types: searching for pdf files
including "north" returned documents missing from my original general
queries. 

So, again like dBera suggests: maybe beagle (gui) should provide some
information like "narrow your search" or allow to select file types? 

BTW - my case was that I *wanted* to display *all* documents including
"north", I knew that if I narrowed my searches I would have got better
results. But how many keywords shall I use to be sure that they covered
all my files?

And I don't think in English (for those who think that one thinks in a
language ;), so I didn't realize that "north" had other meanings until I
went through 100 documents about "North America", "North Africa", "North
Carolina" etc...

Text is extracted, some files do not have "hot content" (?), others do.
They show up if I restrict queries to certain mime types. 

Thank you both for your replies. 

Best,
