    Didn't Microsoft purposely change it to be consistent with all their apps?

    Nobody cares why they changed it, many of us don't like it and want it changed back.  In Word and Excel you can go into options are just hit a checkbox to remove it from the title bar.  that option is missing in Outlook.

    The location of this search bar renders it absolutely useless. One of our techs has been trying to remedy this for about an hour to no avail. 

    Microsoft needs to fix this!!!!

    Note that this is not broken, nor a bug. It is a design change. You could request a change at UserVoice, or on the Help menu of Outlook, hit the Feedback icon.

    Having a tech work on it though won't do anything. It is a design change and operating as intended.

    I am not sure how you say it renders it useless. I use it every day and it works like the old search, but doesn't take up additional screen space since it is in the title bar vs taking up a row in the email list.

    You can't fix criteria boxes anymore
