Writing values back to the Search List source

"Whats the most efficient way of writing values to multiple selected search list items?
Essentially I want to be able to select one or more items on the search list and click a button to timestamp each one.
In the past I've produced a stored procedure to handle the writing of the data. Equally I could fire a form for each item to automatically populate the date but both seem overkill in this instance.
Can a search list script not write the values back for each selected search list item? 'Something along the lines of:

foreach (FWBS.Common.KeyValueCollection sr in SearchControl.SelectedItems)
{
sr[“date”].Value = “2012-02-01 12:00:00”;
}
SearchControl.UpdateItem();
