It can be done by extending LuceneQParser/SolrQueryParser see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPlugins#QParserPlugin there is newTermQuery(Term) it should be overridden and delegate to newPrefixQuery() method. Overall, I suggest you consider to use EdgeNGramTokenFilter in index time, and then search by plain termqueries.
