Well, according to the OL 2.2 schema (I don't know about 2.1) you can do a 
substring index on postalAddress:

attributetype ( 2.5.4.16 NAME 'postalAddress'
       DESC 'RFC2256: postal address'
       EQUALITY caseIgnoreListMatch
       SUBSTR caseIgnoreListSubstringsMatch
       SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.41 )

registeredAddress inherits from postalAddress, so that should also work (in 
OL 2.2).

attributetype ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.39 NAME 'homePostalAddress'
       DESC 'RFC1274: home postal address'
       EQUALITY caseIgnoreListMatch
       SUBSTR caseIgnoreListSubstringsMatch
       SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.41 )

same thing for homePostalAddress -- It allows substring.

You may need to upgrade to OL 2.2.23 to do substring searches.  I suggest 
looking at core.schema and cosine.schema for the attribute definitions to 
find out if OL 2.1 allows substring indexing.
