I *think* you want to consider writing your own analyzer that tokenizes your special fields however you want to. Then use PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper at both index and query time to break the stream up appropriately for this (and only this) field..
This would give you two tokens for the attribute field, "SomeValue" and "1.9 " so you'd even be able to express the notion of your attribute field containing both "SomeValue" and "1.9".
