Can't you use the new search capabilities on the SharePoint home page to search across all the modern team sites (Office 365 Groups) you belong to/have access to?  Wouldn't this allow you to search across team files in multiple SharePoint sites?

Agree.... All Teams docs are stored in the docs library for the SharePoint Teams site mapped to the Group/Team. Each Teams channel gets it's own folder in the SharePoint docs library. The is the exact value prop of Teams being mapped to a Group-- you get the best of both Teams and SharePoint for doc management.

 

BTW-- The attachments uploaded to planner also go into the SharePoint docs library for the Team/Group. Yammer is currently the only service that doesn't play by those rules.
