You could use the JPA LOCATE function.

LOCATE(searchString, candidateString [, startIndex]): Returns the first index of searchString in candidateString. Positions are 1-based. If the string is not found, returns 0.

FYI: The documentation on my top google hit had the parameters reversed.

SELECT 
  e
FROM 
  entity e
WHERE
  (0 < LOCATE(:searchStr, e.property))
