Solr uses a case insensitive search with a small exception: if inside a 
word the case changes from lower case to upper case the word is split:

PowerShot => Power, Shot
someReallyStrangeWord => some, Really, Strange, Word

Splitting also happens with numbers inside words, dashes and many other 
special characters.

The configuration that comes with EXT:solr forces words during indexing 
and during querying to be lowercase (using the filter 
"LowerCaseFilterFactory").

It's really good to use the install script that comes with EXT:solr to 
setup your solr server. This has a configuration that gives good 
results. If you know more about solr server you could change the 
configuration, but that is really for those who know what they are doing!
