You declare a small array in main.
The read_file declares and fills a large array.
Back in main you pass that small, empty array to the search function. There's nothing for it to search.

How about:

int main()
{
    employees array[1000];
    read_file(array);
    search(array);
    return 0;
}


void read_file( employee array[] )
{
    //rest of your function, minus the array declration

A little indenting in your code would also help keep it clear what each set of { } encloses.
