Maybe you can adjust your ranking algorithm. For example, rank the most recent results higher?

Hi,
In the search application I'm working on I would like to prevent the user from getting always the same search results for a certain query, but without affecting results quality too much. In order to do so I'm processing the hits in smaller chunks and doing some random shuffle inside the chunk For example, If I have a 1000 hits result set and I shuffle the results in 50 hit chunks, I might not get the best match first (and for my current application thats ok), but I won't get the last one first. What I'd like to know is if there is a better way to affect the sorting (maybe affecting the scoring) so I can get this behaviour without having to do the processing myself.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
