I haven't found such an option yet with the solr extension. If you use 
the auto complete function the your visitors will see the words from the 
search index that start with the letters they have typed. That will help 
them with selecting the right search term.

The question is if adding a "*" is useful in all cases. Suppose you 
enter "agentur" as search term. Would you want to find "Zollagentur" 
too? In those cases you need to have a way to split compound words into 
parts.

I'm not sure what you mean here. The "german" core that is supplied with 
EXT:solr is configured to use the words in this file to split compound 
words into individual words during indexing.

If you used this 'german' core on the solr server it would already find 
"zollspedition" if you search for "zoll" ("zoll" is in the 
german-common-nouns.txt file that comes with EXT:solr).

It's always better to use the core of the language of your site because 
there are other settings in that core that are specific for that language.
