We used copyField to copy the address to two fields:
1. Which contains just the first token up to the first whitespace
2. Which copies all of it, but translates to lower case.
Then our users can enter either a street number, a street name, or both. We
copied all of it to the second field because it is not, in general, possible to
distinguish between a house number and something else: a house number is not
always present, and when present is not always numeric. Both are
solr.TextField:
<fieldType name="streetnumber" class="solr.TextField">
<analyzer>
<tokenizer class="solr.PatternTokenizerFactory"
pattern="(^\S+)"
group="1"
/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" />
</analyzer>
</fieldType>

Nicolas,
A text or ngram field should do it.
