I would refer you to this link that explains (in turn you can forward this to your user) difference between Classic Search (based on search index, no Graph support) v/s Modern Search (based on Graph). https://searchexplained.com/modern-vs-classic-search-experiences-in-office-365/

Hi!

I am working on the modern search experience and can understand that it must be confusing having so many different search experiences. But I can say that we have a focus on creating a coherent search experience across office 365. This applies to both the searchbox and the search results page.

Examples of this is if you do your search across any teamsite / communicationsite / hubsite or from https://office.com. Here you will see the same search experience that uses searches from the sharepoint search index and the office graph. For most customers the sharepoint home / sharepoint portal page <tenant>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx also has this same search experience and all customers should soon have this soon in sharepoint home / sharepoint portal page.

Please let us know how you feel about this search experience and also the direction of getting to a coherent search experience.
