I'm new to Lucene and I want to make a query to dynamically boost a

can get to the job faster. I don't want to waste my time looking
in places I don't need to.
Extending classes is not necessary. To boost a date field you can
simply call Field.setBoost(). Use IndexSearcher.explain() to see
how your boosts affect scoring.
Since you might need dynamic data boosting, perhaps the new
FunctionQuery would be more what you're after though?
