SharePoint 2016 Document Library Search

SharePoint Search does not have limitations on the # of items it can search through. A document library can hold 30million items.
SharePoint Search can be finicky. It's important to understand that search works on managed/crawled properties. A search crawl has to index the content before it can be found using search. Adding files to a library and searching, will not show the newly added files.
It's also important to note that search can be customized to have query rules and/or exclude content that may be duplicate. Can you clarify a bit more about your list, and how you are searching, are waiting for crawls?
