What version of Solr are you using? You can think about PatternReplaceCharFilterFactory if you're using the right version of Solr.
But.... you have other problems than that. Let's claim you get the periods removed. Do you tokenize three tokens or one? I.e. jrr or j r r? In the latter case your search still won't match.
