Hi Kerstin,

Wildcard Search is available in Apache Solr 3.x. with the new edismax
query component.

The integration is on our roadmap for version 2.5 dkd-eap.

http://forge.typo3.org/projects/extension-solr/versions/855

if you have already a 3.x Install you could try to change the query
parser to edismax and try it in the apache solr admin.

I will ask Ingo if the TYPO3 Plugin is already changed to support * in
the queries as we filter certains words there.
