Outlook search bar moved to the title!?

It may not render it useless but the latest update (Jan 2021) have made the results useless.  I cannot get them sorted by date (the search window covers the choices) and it misses easily 40% of the simple text searches.  I use my inbox as a personal help desk by not putting email into folders.  Outlook search is now useless to me.

revert back to a build from last summer and never update again.  Microsoft has confirmed it will never go back and they don't care 1 bit about the customer or our experience.  Time to stop paying for this BS

It is not just the location, the search capability has not improved at all, on the contrary. Lotus Notes had better and faster search functionality 20 years ago!

Today my organization released a 365 update which moved the Search Bar to the title line. Version 2008 (Build 13127.21064)

This is really an inconvenient and inefficient location which causes me to move my focus and the cursor to the top of the window when searching, which I do many, many, really many times a day.

I know You have declined a similar suggestion lately, but please reconsider that decision, in order to have the daily tools right to your hand. I admit that the search capability seams to be enhanced with the new location. But please give me back an option to have a search field where it belongs, on top of the list of mails. The current location is a serious backwards move.

This "new feature" sucks.

How to move the search bar back to messages window?
