It seems that I solved the problem, for now :-)

I simply deleted the entire content of "Clucene" folder inside ".Strigi" 
folder (hidden folder) in my home directory.
I restarted Strigi, and it started, after my command, a new index of the 
content inside my comp (it is possible to specify the folders in which Strigi 
must search); after some minutes it finished the search and offered to me the 
search page. I tried to search and it found for me correspondences inside the 
files.
IMHO, many things must be improved (but I really don't know what to suggest at 
the moment...), but probably its malfunctioning was due to my previous 
incorrect use (I stopped it during indexing)...

Regards,
