is there any public software that will help me search through a hard disk regardless of file structure for text and then retrieve it into a file? (in other words, to search through a partially trashed disk). tnx.

It has a search command, and a command to save sectors into a CP/M file. It's not automated, but is do-able. You can get DU from the Sintel-20 archives. There are various other diskzapper programs about, but DU is a standard.
