No, read the search reports

First they searched in the right area but didn't find anything - why is still unknown, either both pingers failed or the search method failed. They didn't fail due to not looking in the right place - they looked and failed to find.

Then they looked in an area calculated from wreckage drift - not a simple calculation, took a lot of people a lot of work to do it, and it wasn't right. Bad luck - not an easy area of ocean.

Then they went back to the first search area, to look again, and this time found the wreckage
