Your question has already been answered!!
The search works with
all encodings, as I mentioned previously what breaks the search from
working is if you change the encoding.
I will try and explain it
as plainly as possible your issue so that you might get the idea,
please read carefully so I don't have to explain it again:-
When
you create a post it is saved in the database using the encoding set at
the time, if you search the post the same encoding is used to encode
the search words and so a match can be found.
If you change the
encoding then any new posts will be encoded with the new encoding, if
you do a search it will use the new encoding which will be able to
match search results of new posts saved in the same encoding. However,
old posts saved under the old encoding will be saved in a different
format so the search will not be able to match them.
I will
close this topic now as can't really keep explaining the same thing
over and over as I feel like I am hitting my head against a brick wall
here.

Essentially, if you have been using the default encoding then posts will be saved with that, so when you change to the Greek encoding, it will break existing posts.
If your forum is relatively new and does not have many posts, I would just live with it for now (the posts will soon be long and forgotten), or you could try editing them to correct the issue (if there isnt that many.
