They've scanned 80,000 km, and found two ship wrecks. Just with a bit of reality testing I would have thought they would have found quite a few more. Over the last few hundred years a lot of ships must have passed through that area, and with the rough seas a fair proportion of them have sunk.

How many may they have missed?

Its a quite remote area of the ocean away from major shipping routes.
The scanned area is still just 1/1000 of the Indian Ocean, and very far from the coast. Finding two ships doesn't sound so bad to me.
