Have you looked at WordDelimiterFilterFactory that was mentioned earlier? Try a fieldType in the admin/analysis page that has WDFF as part of the analysis chain. It would do exactly what you've described so far.
WDFF splits the input up as tokens on non-alphanum characters, alpha/num transitions and case transitions (you can configure these). Then searching will match these split-out tokens.
