You can use the boolean query features, search by keyword or search in
files with particular extension.

A very evil suggestion: keep refining search till you get less than
100 results for the concerned backend ("Files" in your case). I am not
a beagle-search user, so I dont know if it shows you the number of
results and allows you to restrict search to one backend. You can
always use beagle-query.
