In What does "yet" mean in this sentence? the OP quoted the following sentence, together with another one.
Finally, even if the scroll didn't point to real treasure, it has yet to be found.
Why is the sentence using "it has yet to be found" and not "it has not been found"?
Does the first phrase mean there are chances to find it, or that somebody is looking for what the scroll is pointing to?
Reading the other sentence, I would take there are few chances to find the treasure, except in the case somebody is able to understand which locations are described in the script.

"Yet" means "at this time" or "up to this time".
So, "It has yet to be found" means "As of this point in time, it has not been found."
The difference between "it has yet to be found" and "it has not been found" is that the first version implies that we expect to find it eventually, while the second does not.
Without the larger context, it's not clear if the sentence means that the scroll has not yet been found or that the treasure has not yet been found. If the intended meaning is that that the treasure has not yet been found, the sentence is a little confusing, as it says there may not be any treasure, but then implies that we expect to find this non-existent treasure. But perhaps if we had the whole paragraph or page it would make sense.
