Your first and last email seem to be contradicting. You said initially you wanted to search for "solr-u" and match that. Now you are saying you want to search "bo sm" and match that.
Either way, I do have very similar scenario working in the project I sent you a link to. I am breaking on full-stops and case changes for Javadoc names. You can try it live for yourself here: http://www.solr-start.com/javadoc/solr-lucene/index.html (Search for "To Fi" to match for TokenFilter).
