It depends (tm). What analyzer are you using when indexing? I'd expect (though I haven't checked) that StandardAnalyzer would break SD/DDeck into two tokens, SD and DDeck which corresponds nicely with what you're reporting.
Other analyzers and/or filters are easy to specify.... I'd recommend getting a copy of Luke and examining your index to see what's actually in it....
