You can look at org.apache.lucene.search.MultiPhraseQuery which does something similar to what you ask. From its javadoc:
* To use this class, to search for the phrase "Microsoft app*" first use * add(Term) on the term "Microsoft", then find all terms that have "app" as * prefix using IndexReader.terms(Term), and use MultiPhraseQuery.add(Term[] * terms) to add them to the query. It works for simple phrases and I don't know if it works for fuzzy phrases as well ... however I believe it can be tweaked to work for fuzzy phrases also.
