The search limit is 100, and it can be changed using the api. But
beagle-search has no option to do it, so one way is to change the
default limit in beagle/BeagleClient/Query.cs (search for 100). (Other
being to submit a patch for a beagle-search option ;-)).

If you want to search only files, you can use the not-so-popular
beagle query syntax. It's described somewhere in the wiki, but I think
if you add to the query something like "HitType:File", it will only
return files or "-HitType:MailMessage" to not return any emails. If
you are using (0.2.16+), you can probably do "FileType:document" to
return only openoffice,msoffice,pdf,text documents. Verify the syntax
from the wiki.
