Hi Kevin,
Find the component that's stripping your " and ' characters (WordDelimiterFF?) and make sure those characters are indexed first. Then make sure the query-time analyzer keeps those tokens, too. Finally, escape special characters (e.g. " in your example) in the query before passing it to Solr (I *think* Solr won't do it for you).
