    I am not on Office Insider.

    I believe this is now released to everyone.

    I am on Office 365 Business, Version 2001, Build 12430.20184.   x-64 vs x-32

    FYI:  I believe File --> Options --> Search    you can: 

    • Uncheck the box:  Show most relevant search results on top
      • I finally found this and unchecked because Microsoft has no idea what is Relevant.

    The checkbox is still there for 

    • When possible, display results, as the query is typed.
      • But it clearly does not function
      • I would complain, but Microsoft would probably just claim: Well it says "When Possible", because they have no other answer or understanding of how it works

    Yes, you're correct...but that option to "display results as query is typed" works just in that pulldown and shows like 2-3 results at most.

    What I wanted to have is the old functionality in which the filter was dynamically apllied to all mails in that mailbox so I saw just those matching the cryteria. Similar with what happens after pressing ENTER when you input something there but it was dynamic result not applied after pressing Enter

    This is what I did.

    On the upper right hand corner there is a "coming soon" box with an on and off switch nexto it. If its "on" turn it off and restart. it worked for me.
