How about using range query?

private Term begin, end;

begin = new Term("dateField",  
DateTools.dateToString(Date.valueOf(<"backInTimeStringDate">)));
end = new Term("dateField",  
DateTools.dateToString(Date.valueOf(<"farFutureStringDate">)));

RangeQuery query = new RangeQuery(begin, end, true);

IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(directory);

Hits hits = searcher.search(query);

Document minDoc = hits.doc(0);
Document maxDoc = hits.doc(hits.length()-1);

String minDateString = minDoc.get("dateField");
String maxDateString = maxDoc.get("dateField");

This certainly is an interesting solution. How would lucene score this result set? The first and last will depend on the score...

I  guess I can build up a quick test........
