Well, the very first thing I would is examine the field definition in your schema file. I suspect that the tokenizers and/or filters you're using for indexing and/or querying is doing something to the # symbol. Most likely stripping it. If you're just searching for the single-letter term "#", I *think* the query parser silently just drops that part of the clause out, but check on that.....
The second thing would be to get a copy of Luke and examine your index to see if what you *think* is in your index actually is there.
