Databases must be empty before they can be used. Delete all of the tables, stored procedures and other objects or use a different database.

Problem:
I got this error when I tried to stop and start the Windows SharePoint Services Search service by the following:
Central Administration ->Operations ->Services on server->Windows SharePoint Services Search->Stop
Central Administration->Operations->Services on server->Windows SharePoint Services Search->Start
The below is the step by step solution to fix this issue.
Solution:
1. We have to delete some log files of database in the SQL Server by following the path:
Stop the SQL Server Express Service: Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> SQL Server -> Right click Stop
2. Now delete the following file in the below locations:
WINDIR%\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSL.2005\MSSQL\DATA\WSS_Search_ Servername.mdf
WINDIR%\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSL.2005\MSSQL\DATA\WSS_Search_ Servername_log.LDF
Or in this path WINDIR%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\
3. Restart the SQL Server Express Service by following the path:
 Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> SQL Server -> Right click Start
4. Now restart the Windows SharePoint Services Search by following the path:
Restart the Windows SharePoint Services Search: Central Administration->Operations->Services on server->Windows SharePoint Services Search->Start
5. In the Configure Windows SharePoint Services Search Service Settings page, in the Search DB section, give a new DB name in the Database Name field. Click Start.
6. If you give the old DB name you will get the error. Hence try giving the new DB name.
