In case you need only a few of the top ranking documents, and the documents are to be sorted by date anyway, you might consider to search each of the dates in sorted order separately until you have enough results. In that way there is no need to use a field with some constant value. Nonetheless, I can recommend to have a special field containing all the field names for a document. As all docs normally contain a primary key, the name of the primary key field can serve as the constant value.
