How about a basic use case of what you mean.  Nice simple step by step
from the end user.  I have been kicking around and idea with the voices in
my head about the idea of dbus/beagle integration with something like:

If the music player is open or an music device is plugged in beagle
prioritizes music files in results.

I am not sure if this is a dashboard or beagle issue and I have only
talked to the voices so I am not proposing it but I am unclear on your
concept so a simple use cas would be cool.

their specific mime-type...

handled by some related project and beagle continues what it does best,
indexing and searching. If you want virtual search folders, try Robert
Love's BeagleFS (a beagle based Fuse FS) - does what you want and does
pretty good. Moreover, its DE independent. If you want DE dependent
solutions, you can use beagle kio-slave in konq to create virtual
folders and I think nautilus file-selector has some kind of beagle
virtual folder support.
