Take a look at WordDelimiterFilterFactory. It has a bunch of options to allow this kind of thing to be indexed and searched.
Note that in the default schema, the definition in the index part of the fieldType definition has slightly different parameters than the query time WordDelimiterFilterFactory, that's a good place to start. WARNING: WDFF is a bit complex, you _really_ would be well served by spending some time with the Admin/Analysis page to understand the effects of these parameters...
