Ok, so I must be on a roll... Here's another glorious script that goes directly to the SharePoint DB's... Don't tell Bill!  As usual, this is not recommended by MS, etc., etc., etc.  This one is to get result sets of your Crawl Details.  It will show each attempt to start/stop/delete a crawl, what it's current status is, when it was requested, started, and finished.  Handy for monitoring your Search crawling with home grown tools ;)
