A surprising amount of that ocean was searched in some way or other in the year following MH370's disappearance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370#/media/File:MH370_SIO_search.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370#/...), but pieces of plane are still pretty small in comparison.
