In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Ollivander was kidnapped by Death Eaters from his shop directly. Why did Aurors do nothing to save Ollivander?

Who said they didn't try?
There does not seem to be any evidence that Aurors (or anyone) was not trying to rescue Ollivander. It is entirely possible that they were and we just never hear about it.
They probably didn't know where he was
It is, of course, also possible that they did not try to rescue him. If this is the case there would be a simple explanation: You can't rescue someone without knowing where he is. There does not seem to be any evidence that Aurors, or anyone for that matter, knew where Ollivander was.
It is unlikely anyone would be able to find him
Finally, it is simply unlikely that anyone trying to rescue him would actually be able to find him. If Ollivander was being held with Voldemort then finding Ollivander would mean finding Voldemort. At the end of Half-Blood Prince Harry points out that (regarding a similar situation) that will probably never happen:
Hermione winced at the forced toughness in his voice. "No," she said
reprovingly, folding up the newspaper. "They're still looking for
Snape but no sign..."
"Of course there isn't, said Harry, who became angry every time this
subject cropped up. "They won't find Snape till they find Voldemort,
and seeing as they've never managed to do that in all this time..."
There are other priorities
And if they somehow did find Voldemort's location, rescuing Ollivander would probably quickly slide down the list of priorities. If you can invade Voldemort's base there are many more important things to do than rescuing an old wandmaker (capturing/subduing/killing Voldemort for starters).
