As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Agreed. The data is most likely still on the drive but using the PC might
cause it to be overwritten since apparently Windows thinks the disk clusters
are free for re-use.
After that, do three things.
1. Get a second drive for backups or back up to a server.
2. Update your backup strategy: a) Switch to backup software that
understands the concept of grandfather/father/son backups and doesn't
overwrite the most recent backup each time. I'd suggest Acronis True Image:
http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ b) Do a monthly
full backup with daily incrementals (differentials).
3. Get a UPS for the PC so it can run for at least a short while during
power outages. That way you can leave the PC on long enough for the backup
to finish.
If you buy a Seagate or Maxtor as your second drive, you get a rebranded
version of True Image:
