There was a three part series shown on BBC NI recently "The Search" which explains the work of SARtechs ( search and rescue technicians ) of the Community Rescue Service volunteers based in Northern Ireland.
Shows initial 500 metre search arc from last known location and river search techniques with small ribs and sonar etc. Also more arduous terrain searches such as tightly packed forests and bracken.
Episode 1 expires on 22nd Feb for those not in NI who may have missed it in the schedules and are interested.

I'm in NI myself and fairly sure you would need a UK ISP to view for those posters further flung.
Unfortunately bodies can take a considerable time to locate in water even if fairly near the initial search location.
Hoping that's not the case here.
