but the really big problem is that a jet has very little bulk or mass to detect outside of the box. On impact it would have practically exploded and been torn apart. If those parts have sunk, they are extremely deep and the Indian Ocean is huge. It's hard to put into perspective.

I think the boxes are their only shot and I would be surprised if they could find such wreckage. The Titanic was a huge piece of steel in two pieces. Comparing the two is like comparing a plastic teacup to a tank.
