Search only returns results for site admins?
In general when admins see things but users don't content ( inlcuding display templates etc) are not published. Best thing to do is check all files that may be involved in presenting the information. Somehting is likely not published and therefor not visible to the normal user.
In our case even the "search as you type" way (so the search box in the upper left corner of a modern document library) fails to return any results. Btw this was my first thought also, so I double checked the results.aspx in the search center subsite, but it was checked in and published.
It appears I just wasn’t patient enough, search now works properly.
There is a delay between having access to a document library and having access to search results sourced from that library, and this time it was longer than the usual.
