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.

Hi,
I'm using Apache Solr v3.1.
How do I configure/allow Solr to both index and query the term "c#" as a
whole word/term? From "Analysis" page, I could see that the term "c#" is
being reduced/converted into just "c" by solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory.

Yes, as you have discovered the analyzers for the field type in
question will affect the values indexed.
To index "c#" exactly as is, you can use the "string" type, instead
of the "text" type. However, what you probably want some filters
to be applied, e.g., LowerCaseFilterFactory. Take a look at the
definition of the fieldType "text" in schema.xml, define a new field
type that has only the tokenizers and analyzers that you need, and
use that type for your field. This Wiki page should be helpful:
