Indeed, I saw in the analysis tab of the solr admin that the § char will be removed when using type text_general. But in this use case we want to make a full text search like "_text_:§45" or "_text_:§*" to find words starting with §. We need a text field here, not a string field! What is your recommended way to deal with it? Is it possible to remove the word break behaviour for the § char? Or is the best way to encode all § chars when indexing and searching?

We can't see how your "text_general" type is defined, but if it is anything like the same type included in Solr examples, then it probably is using StandardTokenizerFactory. It appears that this tokenizer treats the § character as a word break and removes it from the token stream. Most likely, the reason the search with the extra clause works is that the part with that character is removed, and the query ends up ONLY being the extra clause. You will need a fieldType with an analysis chain that doesn't remove the § character, and it's almost guaranteed that you'll need to reindex. Unless you do that, searching for that character is not going to be possible. Also keep in mind that searching for a single character may not do what you expect if that character is not a single word in the text, and that certain filters can end up trimming out really short terms like that.
