Jake, Yes, that field would have to be some kind of an analyzed field (e.g. text), not string if you wanted that query to match "Jake is Testing" input. There are no built-in Lucene or Solr-specific limits on field lengths. There is one parameter called.... maxFieldLength in Solr's solrconfig.xml, I think, which tells Lucene how many tokens to consider for indexing. If you don't want that limit, increase that parameter's value to the max.
