Tagging makes sense, and it's something I'd like to add.  But it's not 
necessary to tag files with their mime type; it already has that 
information and it's already easy to get all the files for a specific 
mime type.  Although you can't do it in the beagle-search tool, you can 
query for all files with the audio/mp3 mime type and get back all the 
results.

By default results are limited to 100, but you can change this in your 
code.  This exists because (a) it helps performance and (b) in most 
cases more than 100 hits is not useful.

Yes, it already does this.
