It's certainly quite possible with Lucene/Solr. But you have to index the
field to accommodate it. If you literally want an exact match query, use the
"string" field type and then issue a term query. q=field:value will work in
simple cases (where the value has no spaces or colons, or other query parser
syntax), but q={!term f=field}value is the fail-safe way to do that.
