Issues with Modern Search for List items (Nothing found by modern search)
Well I guess this is the Official answer from Microsoft. I still think it is BS as this is something that should be core to search (lets just forget searching 50% or more of all results).
This behavior is a known issue and limitations with communication site
Symptom
Searching on a communication site that includes list data does not return that list data.Cause
This is a limitation of search on Communication Sites. Communication Sites currently use the Microsoft Graph for search, and there is no signals for list data at this timeResolution
Signals for List data is something that is going to be included in the product in a future release, there is no current ETA on that feature landing

Is the site Private or Public? is the searcher in the Member role of the connected group, the Owner role, or both roles?
I just learned that if the Group is Private, and the searcher is only in the Group Owner role, then no results are returned. If the searcher is added to the Member role, OR if the Group is changed to Public, the results are returned.
Search used to work great and now it is all screwed up !!!

Hi!
I am working on the modern search experience. Its correct that we do not surface list items in the experience that has been in prod for the last year. But we are currently rolling out the new version of this search that is currently surfaced if you search from any teamsite / communicationsite / hubsite or from office.com. We are soon available to all customers when searching from sharepoint home.
This new search will also surface list items as part of the resultset.
You can try it out if you go to https://www.office.com.
Let me know how you would compare it to the current experience.
Thanks for this, much appreciated! Will the SharePoint Portal Home page itself also be getting this search bar upgrade, currently that search doesn't see list items like office.com does. Assuming eventually?- Geir-Magnus Pettersen
If you mean xxx.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx as portal home page, then yes.
We will see the same new experience very soon in this locations aswell.
