UPDATE: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups moving beyond First Release
Please can someone help detail the search story for Office 365 Group Team Sites.
Currently, it appears that only 'Public' O365 Group Team Sites have contents indexed by the SharePoint search index.
'Private' groups do not.
You can test this by going to a 'Private' O365GTS document library and search for a document using the search box on the top right. I get no results.
Searching using the search box on the top left of the 'Home' page gives results (Office Graph Search?)
Is there is a way to have 'Private' O365GTS contents indexed by SharePoint Search? Please can someone point me in the right direction... It is not a good story for users to not have documents show up in the SharePoint search center...

Hi Brian - today you should be able to search for content in private groups from SharePoint Home and from within the private group itself. There is work underway to enable private group results from Delve (and classic search) as well. The timeframe on that front will align with 'search with personal relevance' which was announced at Ignite in this session. Bernt Ivar Olsen might be able to share additional details here.
I have also experienced this problem. Please advise why contents of a private group are not being indexed in the Sharepoint Online search index.
