Giving boost to a more recent item whiule searching

Hi,
   I am trying to retreive documents from an index. Each document has a date
field and other fields.
while  making a seach i want to give some extra boost to the more recent
items (as per the date field)
How can I go about it?

Thanks in advance

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.

discussed at some length. That'll give you a much faster
