Have a look at the FunctionQuery capabilities in Lucene, whereby you
can use the value of a Field as a scoring factor. So, your
FunctionQuery would just do a simple calculation between the current
time and whatever date is in the document.

Hi,
Looking into older threads and some googling i came across some codes
where boosting is done at the time of indexing using time gap from
'epoch'
or a *base time*. With this approach what I am afraid of is that
over a
period of time the boosting factor may go up and I may loose the
relevence
factor of other fields.
Any thoughts on this?

I would love to revisit this one. I implemented pseudo date
boosting in
an overly simplistic manner in my app, which I know can be improved
upon.
Might it be useful to reopen a thread on the topic?

Hi Erick,
Thanks for your response. I have tried searching the archive. I
could
not
find andy relevant thread. that's why i posted the question here.
May be I
am not using the right keywords. If you know any archive link which
deals
with this problem please send me.
I have seen the case study about theServerSide in the book
"Lucene in
Action". But there also they haven't given how date boosting can be
implemented.
