Probably indexes need to be rebuilt using myisamchk after you changed the data type of the index columns. Apart from that I can't see why your query is not using the indexes. Is it possible that the cardinality of the column values is so low that indexes are not being used? You could try and run a ANALYZE TABLE (or myismachk -a for MyISAM tables) and then a "SHOW INDEX" to see the cardinality information for these key columns.
