We have this same issue but I did not find it anywhere registered for Microsoft.

Is there a way to correct the url for the search boxes?

    Hi!
    There currently are no way to customize if you want to search in the scope of the site or the tenant wide scope. But we are considering setting default search scope to tenant wide instead of site scoped as the default behavior.

      Thank you for information on search scope. I am a SharePoint / Office 365 consultant with years of experience of user requirements related to search and ECM in general. I think it would be great if you could have a tenant or site level setting for default search scope. We used to have something like this in the classic experience :)

       

      Btw, are you aware that if you have a classic result page url setting in tenant root, it will still affect Expand search to all SharePoint when searching within a document library in a modern team site (group site)?

        Let's vote for it using this user voice idea: 

         

        Provide an option to change Sharepoint default search without "/siteall?q=" https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/264636-general/suggestions/36877585-provide-an-option-to-change-sharepoint-default-sea
