Rebuilding Windows Search Index

Hot swappable SATA drives don't always show correct contents on disk after the drive has been removed, changed and re-inserted.

The even logs occasionally report "The Windows Search Service is starting up and attempting to remove the old search index {Reason: Index Corruption}" Event ID 1008.

What causes this error and is there a way to help Windows 7 deal with hot swapping drives more effectively? What prompts the Windows Search Index to rebuild itself and would rebuilding on demand help in this scenario? Is there a way to do this from the command line?
