Modern Document Library returns no search results
No i havent, and yes i did and it doesnt work also in classic view.
So im guessing its a library thing on this specific case.

Hi Randy,
Did you ever open a ticket with Microsoft about this?
I have also expereienced this behaviour. Unfortunatley it seems that as soon as your store over 5000 files in a library you can potentially run into this issue.
When you hit Enter, the library is trying to filter results rather than use the search index. The resulting message is misleading when it suggests that 'No items match your search query'. That isn't actually true, it's just that SharePoint cannot display the items due to a limitation and therefore shows nothing.
It's been noted on user voice albeit with two votes

David Bishop Randy Nieraeth Well it's 3 years later and nothing has changed, what a surprise. This broken behaviour is still there, no solution but to switch back to the old interface, unless someone found a workaround?

FOUND IT!!!!
Below that dumb message "No items match your search", all the way down, there is a light blue, small font link "Expand search to all items in your organization".
