including "time" as a factor in relevance?

[WHIRLYCOTT]

I need to have my search result relevance influenced by time.  Older  
things in my index are less relevant than newer things.  I don't want  
to do a strict sort by date.  Is this supported somehow by using a  
dismax request handler?  Or if you have other hints, I'm eager to  
know what they are.
