Modern Search Default Setting

When we search on a mts site, over the modern search box, are the default search scope the actual site. In the search center we can change the scope to "all sites".

 

It's possible, that we can change the default to "all sites"?

I mean, every query from every site search's direct in "all sites", not in the actual site.

    It would be good to hear any movement on this, particularly in light of MS Ignite 2018 and all the developments on Search. One workaround I think, could be that you change your root site to a communication site which looks to by default have tenant scoped search enabled. Not sure if this can be done yet, but it looks like this feature is coming out soon....

    I think it would still be very useful to be able scope your search to site collection or tenant and have this as a site setting for default behavior...

  • For search in modern site, there is currently no way to change the deafult to "all sharepoint". However, there is an easy way in the UX to upscope the results from "this site" to "all sharepoint.

    Kathrine Hammervold, Bernt Ivar Olsen as FYI for the feature request.
