Modern Search - Scope outside current Site or Hub

Hi, unfortunately, there is no “modern” out-of-the-box way to extend the standard search box beyond a site or hub. However, you can:
-Classic Search Center + Result Source: create a classic Search Center and define a Result Source with path: that includes hubs + extra sites.
-Custom SPFx Search Web Part: develop a web part that performs a REST/CSOM query with path: filter on the URLs you need.
Otherwise, you need an external solution (Graph connector, PnP or similar).
Well, another option is to use SharePoint Home/Start. Go to SharePoint in the waffle menu or the home icon in the left app bar. From there you can search EVERYTHING you have access to see - SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, etc.
