I’ve been developing a geonetwork web application with metadata
in English and in Greek. I cannot find how to perform a search
query in Greek. I found that geonetwork uses the Jakarta Lucene
seaqrch engine wich, if not mistaken, supports greek search only
if it is recompiled with some greek language support classes. Is
this true, or does geonetwork support the greek language natively
(possible with a change in character set)? The greek character set
is ISO-8859-7. Also, if greek is not supported, how could geonetwork
search using some greek “special” characters used in mathematics,
e.g. φ, π, ρ?

Did you try utf-8? I bet it supports Greek characters.
Check out your tomcat/conf/server.xml
Make sure you have
URIEncoding="UTF-8"
into your <connector ......./> tag.
Then, Tomcat will support utf-8 http request, that means you will be able to
search with all kind of character (Japanese, Chinese, French, and Greek I
believe)
