Technically, yes, but you would have to do a lot of work yourself. Like, a
sentence/paragraph recognizer that inserted sentence and paragraph markers,
and a query parser that allows you to do SpanNear and SpanNot (to
selectively exclude sentence or paragraph marks based on your granularity of
search.)
The LucidWorks Search query parser has SpanNot support (or at least did at
one point in time), but no sentence/paragraph marking.
You could come up with some heuristic regular expressions for sentence and
paragraph marks, like consecutive newlines for a paragraph and dot followed
by white space for sentence (with some more heuristics for abbreviations.)
Or you could have an update processor do the marking.

Subject: Tokenize on paragraphs and sentences
Hi. Is it possible to search within paragraphs or sentences in Solr? The
PatternTokenizerFactory uses regular expressions, but how can this be done
with plain ASCII docs that don't have <p> tags (HTML), yet they're broken
into paragraphs? Thanks.
Warm regards,
Alex
