What happens if someone can not be found to be served for contempt of court?

Unless the judge withdraws his order of contempt it will remain active (just as if it were a warrant) until the missing party presents themselves in court and answers to the judges concerns.
If it is a civil contempt order, no arrest will take place - people are not arrested for civil contempt. However if it is a criminal contempt order, they are subject to arrest by law enforcement.
