You're on the right track I think... perhaps try using RangeFilter
directly rather than creating your own class. Something like:
Filter filter = RangeFilter.More("lastUpdatedDate","");
searcher.search(query, filter)
If that works for you, then the next step would be to look at
CachingWrapperFilter, which can help prevent calculating the filter
for every query.
