Given how long it took to come up with the locations to search, I'm not at all surprised that nothing has been found.
And sadly, the longer it takes to locate debris, the more difficult it will be, because it will drift and disperse. If you assume 2 knot current, 3 weeks of drift is 1008 nautical miles. Wherever the aircraft went down, the debris field has drifted a long way.
