ELT DOUBTS

Hi,

I have a few questions about the ELT.

A plane crashes and then the ELT automatically begins sending a signal, ok.

But somebody has to be listening actively that signal in order to find the plane? or that signal is send it to somebody?

I mean, of course with the malasyan plane, i guess everybody is actively monitoring on 121,5 to see if they can listen up the elt.

but is this signal specifically from that plane?
if an small plane has an accident in the alaska tundra, but no body advert it, will somebody go and look for them?
