I know that by changing the meta description of my webpage, I can control the texts shown by Google in the search results.

However I do not know how I can control the text shown just before the search results, for example the date when the page was last updated. Which meta tag to use to accomplish this?



UPDATE:
My webpage is automatically updated on a weekly basis on irregular intervals by a cronjob which makes changes to the MySQL database which holds the content of my webpages. So the question is what (meta) info to add to my page.

If you want to the date then go webmaster and use data highlighter to tell search engines about the where you have mentioned the date.
