Practical reality is you can find aircraft most the time in normal conditions when the weather permits you to look. This one seems to be about where it should have been.
These aircraft have ELTs yes but need to be alive to activate them - if there were survivors after impact then we would know exact position to go to. And in bad weather attempts would be made, not necessarily successful ones.
Bottom line is it seems to be found and with little risk by SAR knowing that NO ELT was activated and therefore as stated early more a search than a rescue in this case.
