Has anyone seen this before. Any advise on how to move back to default position?

Lost valuable work time over the new location of the Search bar. HATE IT! Get it right in DESIGN, not DECADES later!
Its nightmare, all we can do is spam office dev team by sending feedback via outlook to move it back with each office update (I do it since September....)
why Microsoft? why?
Outlook is the only office program, where I've ever used the search and now you moved it to his strange place -.-
Why not keep it close to the content I'm searching?
This is a terrible change. The search effectively acts as a filter on the message list, and so removing it from the context of the list pane is downright confusing, besides requiring extra mouse movement as many have already stated.
If you cannot or will not make this a configuration option, keep the global search in the title bar and at least add a quick search/quick filter bar (giving immediate feedback / live preview) back in at the top of the list view. Actually, that would be similar to what Thunderbird is already doing.
Microsoft - please bring my search box like it was before. This one at the top is so STUPID.
Thank you
