MH370 could be almost anywhere that they had the range to fly. I recall seeing a map with a circled area that with fuel remaining when it disappeared the plane could have reached. It included all of India, part of Pakistan and Krakistan, most of China and south east Asia, lots of islands and a very large chunk of deep ocean. I doubt it will ever be found.
I watched an interview with a former air crash investigator. Apparently the crew requested an altitude change and 4 minutes later when ATC called to give them permission there was no response and the plane disappeared from radar. The reason for the delay was 7 other aircraft in the vicinity. As to the time required to find it you have to take into account the time it disappeared, daylight remaining at that time, response time (assets in the vicinity) and weather. I don't think they did too bad but the news media is going to jump on that so they have something for the talking heads to say. What the talking heads should be looking at it the Air Asia plane that overshot a runway less than 24 hours after this one went down and the safety record for airlines out of that area of the world in general.
For anyone interested look up "air crash investigations" on youtube. They had a series of programs that walked through who, what when and where and the results of air accidents world wide. They cover the time needed to find downed aircraft in some of them.
