Ok, I believe I have discovered and solved the solution.
 
Bizarrely, another problem manifested itself as well.  I was getting an 800029 Exception at Line 581 in register.asp when a new user would sign up.  Looking through the code, this referenced the Group tables.  I checked out the table via Navicat to make sure that there was no corruption of data (obvious corrupt).  I didn't think there was any since the rest of the forum appears to function properly.
 
So what I did, was I went through each Group setup, and just updated them all.  Didn't make any changes, just went through the motion of updating each one.
 
Then to make sure that I actually made changes to the database entry for the default group, I briefly changed it from one to another.
 
This fixed the sign up error and now users can sign up.
 
And bizarrely enough, the search now functions!
 
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALL!
 
It appears that the database conversion from Access to MySQL using the NaviCat method, you have to get the program to 'update' the database fields at least one time for them to really kick in.  I think I've had to do this for most every type of setting, but it works and I am so very happy that I made the switch.
 
Word to the newbies... Do not go down the Access DB path.  I can understand us cabbage patchers that have been using WebWiz since the dinosaurs, but it's like buying a Lamborghini with a lawn mower engine.
 
Thanks DJ Air and Borg for the time you put in to this odd issue.

Only new posts show up in the search results.
 
I tried to update the forum details in the admin section but that did not work.

Grossi,
 
This wasn't my problem.  The search never worked for old or new posts.  I suspect that you are having more of an issue of what Borg mentioned in this thread.
 
I used the Navicat For MySQL method to convert Access to mySQL with default US English installs of all software.

mySQL is very, very different to Access and SQL Server.

The Access and SQL Server versions use a relational database schema, mySQL doesn't support this, so the mySQL version is not relational. Ontop of this mySQL uses many different datatypes.

The mySQL database is very different to the Access and SQL Server databases, which means any migration tool you use is guessing at allot of the conversions, which are not often correct.

If you are wanting to move from Access to a better database the only migration path we would recommend is from Access to SQL Server, using the upsize wizard in Access. We find that the Access 2007 upsize wizard does the job really well.
