you say we could calculate a specific search space when we know the pub key from these addresses.

but why are the BTC still there ?

is it also impossible with the specific search space ?

We can't "calculate" a specific search space, we need to know the specific search space before starting the computation. That's the reason why those btc are still there, because nobody (except the btc owner) knows the specific search space for those private keys.
