Question

I need to create an observer in Magento that listens for the event that is called when someone re-indexes the Catalog Search Index.

So which event is called when someone indexes Catalog Search Index? Thanks?

Edit:
I am looking at the event:
catalogindex_plain_reindex_after

Would this be the correct one?

I would recommend running this grep from command line and building out an events txt file of available events you can hook into. That list may be pretty dated you linked.

grep -r Mage::dispatchEvent /path/to/your/Magento/* > events.txt
