Whatever the cause, there is a slim chance that, after a Restart, your work has been saved in a folder called Rescued Items inside your Trash. Unless you turn off your Mac, this data is still available, even after a crash, until some other process or application uses it. Running it immediately after a crash will maximize the chance of retrieving your data. As a test, we created a new SimpleText document, and started entering text. After we were done, we quit the application, but decided not to save.
Red values have more text ahead of the search term, making it more likely to be usable text.
