Why don't they use satellite photos & algorithms to find debris from the Air France Flight?

It's a common misconception that satellites blanket the sky's but it's simply not true. It also takes days sometimes weeks or months to reposition a satellite. So more than likely it's simply not feasible to move a satellite into position and then use it. The resolution is suspect also. For them to be useful the imagery would need to be quite a bit higher than you see in the standard imagery on say google.
Good Luck!
