Miz, The StandardAnalyzer recognizes email addresses as is. That is, it pays attention to the '@' symbol. Just store an email address in a field and search them normally.
This assumes you are going to store the different emails in separate fields. There is an alternative strategy if you need it. Create a string consisting of all the emails separated by whitespace. Make sure the field is tokenized and then you only have to search one field for any of the emails. Your call.

Do i need the split the email address first and further split the single email address as well and store them in multiple fields? What is the best way to deal such case?
