SharePoint V3: Fresh MOSS 2007 Search Configuration for Medium Server Farm

Description
After configuring and starting MOSS Search, you wish to have a clean configuration. Maybe the indexing process doesn't seem to be working correctly. Or, perhaps there are issues with the propogated index share folder. Or, maybe the crawler doesn't seem to complete its process. Or, maybe the first time around you forgot about your database naming convention and you want to rename the search database to something more relevant. Whatever the issue or reason, the solution below offers a way to gain a fresh start with MOSS search configuration. This solution creates a new search database, it clears the index and propogated index file shares and creates new ones.
