Hi Jeff, Another option is to use the Lucene escape character: '\' Escaping is described here: http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_5_0/queryparsersyntax.html#Escaping Special Characters
If you're using SolrJ you can use the ClientUtils#escapeQueryChars(), this would escape the whole query (not only the * character). Hope it helps.
