Hi @mco-84 ,
Per my test,I can reproduce your issue in my end. Everyting works when searching on the homepage, however when searching in the library, similar issues will appear(search itself is not affected).
I would suggest you go to SharePoint UserVoice to submit more information and your suggestions to the official to help improve the user experience.
