I have been systematically rebuilding the search indexes after 
restarts on my 2.5.x server. I usually do this (based on info 
feom UCT):

1) Blow away everything in the shared search directory 
(sharedJournalBase at org.sakaiproject.search.api.JournalSettings)

2) Blow away everything in the local segments directory 
(localIndexBase at org.sakaiproject.search.api.JournalSettings)

3) Clear the data from the search-related database tables:

delete from search_journal; 
delete from search_node_status; 
delete from search_segments; 
delete from search_transaction; 
delete from searchbuilderitem; 
delete from searchwriterlock; 

You have to kick off a manual rebuild of your entire index after 
startup, but it works.
