I have always just converted terms like 'C#' or 'C++' into 'csharp' and 'cplusplus' before indexing them and similarly converted those terms if someone searched on them. That always has worked just fine for me... :)

I don't think you'd want to use the string type here. String type is almost never appropriate for a field you want to actually search on (it is appropriate for fields to facet on). But you may want to use Text type with different analyzers selected. You probably want Text type so the value is still split into different tokens on word boundaries; you just don't want an analyzer set that removes punctuation.
