It says that the search SHOULD NOT be terminated before there is no longer any reasonable hope. It is obviously up to the co-ordinating and participating countries to decide when that boundary occurs and how long after that the search should stop, and based on the considerable interest in the fate of these lost souls it is quite reasonable that the search has continued. It's not like one bloke went missing in the outback...
