Search_Service_Application_CrawlStoreDB not attached to files in SQL server

On my Sharepoint 2010 Front End I see this error:

Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (b79c1c14-ddfd-40f0-9053-df33c4e865dc).

Reason: Cannot open database "Search_Service_Application_CrawlStoreDB_176ff077ea2a491abdca6ae918a872a5" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'MYDOM\SVC-SPFarm'.

Technical Support Details:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "Search_Service_Application_CrawlStoreDB_176ff077ea2a491abdca6ae918a872a5" requested by the login. The login failed.

   at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance.Synchronize()
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ApplicationServerJob.ProvisionLocalSharedServiceInstances(Boolean isAdministrationServiceJob)

I went to check the rights on the SQL back end and I see that the database exists, but it does not have any structure (no little + sign to expand details)

The files do exist but are not recently updated.

How do I go about recreating this database or re-attaching the files?
