I guess you could achieve the same effect by having a custom indexing configuration file [1] that you modify once per day or per week to increase the boost for specific node types. However, it seems counterintuitive to have to keep increasing the boost either with configuration changes or with a boost function like the one you proposed. As already suggested by Alex, I'd rather use sorting for this. To allow the full text match score to affect the sort order you could use just the year, month or week number as the first sort term and let the matches within that time period be sorted according to the match score. Solr has a more complex mechanism for such date-based scoring (see [2]), but making something like that work with Jackrabbit probably needs quite a bit of work on the search index layer.
