Assuming this isn't a typo, 2.3.3 is an old release and early in the 2.3 
branch. Upgrading to 2.3.42 would be a good idea.

It is not advisable to change standard schema. You may want to use a 
different or custom attribute instead of changing an accepted one.

The first thing to ask: did you re-index or re-load the data after 
changing the schema? If not, your search will not work. See the 
slapindex command.

If that definitely is not the problem, then for debugging it is better 
to include at a minimum the actual search command, the resulting output, 
an LDIF representation of the data you should find, and information from 
your slapd configuration.
