User In Owner Role - No Search Results
As a follow up, I have found a bug that prevents search results from being returned as expected in Group enabled Team site searches
- If the Office Group is Public and the user is only in the Group Owner role, then searching works as expected.
- If the Office Group is Private, then searching does Not work as expected. A user that is only in the Group Owner role does not get any search results - adding the user to the Group Member role causes the search results to be returned, but this should not be necessary.

I just tried creating a new private teamsite from sharepoint home/portal. Added an extra user as owner in the creation process. But searching with the extra user added as additional owner worked in the private modern team site.
Am I doing this wrong, could you provide some additional steps on how you added the extra user only as owner of the group?
This problem occurs when I add a user to the Owners role of the Office group in either, the O365 Admin Center Group page or in Azure AD Group management page. By using these tools, the account does not get assigned automatically to the Member Role also.

I am seeing the same behavior as you describe. The question is if this behavior is by design because of some unknown reason for private groups. Did you have a support case going for this? If not I can dig up with provisioning teams on if there is a good reason for this behavior.
Queries to search does not complain about errors as far as I can see, but there are not returned any results for the private group owner.
