I think you're absolutely right Erick, Thanks for the insight - that's the direction I'll be heading.

But first I'd look over the zillion tokenizers and filters that are available and string together the ones that best suit your need. For instance, WhitespaceTokenizer and PatternReplaceFilter might make your regex much easier since the PatternReplaceFilter gets just the whitespace-delimited tokens to operate on. You can hook arbitrary numbers of Filters into your chain, so you could add LowercaseFilter and.... But unless your case is pretty unusual, I'd claim just using the pre-built Tokenizers and Filters will probably work for you, or at least I'd check that out first.
