Any update on when MS will reverse this decision.

Getting fed up with having to disappoint customers by saying its MS we can't really do much about it..

I'm not going to complain to much as I also hate the new location, as I have had 2 google suite migrations where this was the final straw item to leave 365.

It will not be reversed. MS was very clear about that a few months back. On the Outlook Uservoice site, a suggestion to make the Outlook Search usable again (including placement) had thousands and thousands of votes and so many people wrote there too. Can't give a link cause MS removed it.

In the end Microsoft reacted that the change is there to stay because " ... it is a unified search for the whole Office package" and closed the suggestion despite all the 100% legit complaints and suggestions.

In other words: product first, customer somewhere dangling below :( And here is a huge MS finger for ya all (sorry, that's how it feels towards the average user who has no use what so ever for a unified package)

May I know how I can solve it, please?

Thanks.

Why can't they just add an option for "legacy" or "classic". This new version doesn't even let you select a specific mailbox to search anymore?!
