The only tool to get all the matches from beagle is beagle-query (the command
line version).
The GUI tools like beagle-search, kerry, etc. have the limitation that they
have to "meaningfully display" the results. They might not have the ability
to show all types of results e.g. beagle-search does not display some kde
backend results (forgot which one). As far as I know, kerry has trouble with
handling email attachments, there might be more result types kerry does not
handle. There could be a bug with kerry too. The best you can do is, run
query which returns small number of results in kerry and beagle-query. Check
which results are not shown in kerry, and file bugs about them in
bugs.kde.org (there should an open bug about email attachments).
I also noticed beagle-search returned only 37 out of 40. I think I missed that
patch when I was merging patches from the svn trunk to 0.2.x branch.
beagle-search is probably fixed in the trunk.
