How did you convert your database to utf8 and why did you do it?

i conver it via iconv.
because my db was latin1_swedish and some custom code doesnt work with greek.

All my forums now works perfect except the search.

i try rebuild everythink byt no luck

Make sure each forum is set to index posts:

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Index New Posts in Search Engine

Also note that searches also use group permissions. If a user doesn't have access to view threads in a specific forum then the search will not find any results in that forum.

Also check which search engine you are using:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Search Type (on the left, not the right)

If you are using fulltext then run a repair to ensure that the search index is up-to-date:

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Repair / Optimize Tables

If you are using the vBulletin search engine then you can run a rebuild in your:

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Search Index
