Have a look at the DateTools utility class. Also, the Wiki has some
HOWTOs on Dates: http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/HowTo
Search this archive for Date handling, plus I believe the Lucene In
Action book covers dates as well, although it might be a bit dated.
Lucene also comes with sort functionality that can handle dates.
Have a look at the search API methods that pass in a Sort object.

I am using the most basic lucene functionality but using against a
database. For example, I may have a message forum and will index that
message text and message subject from the database. But I haven't
figured out a way to index the date. ideally, when I search I should
be able to return the most recent and the relevant searches. Possibly
even filtering by the last couple of days or something similar.
Does anybody have an example on how they indexed a date and/or with a
record from a database.
