Outlook search bar moved to the title!?

I have this too - I'm on Insider, version is 1909 Build 12015.20004. Search works so not a huge deal but a strange place for it to move to.

NOTHING I READ WAS HELPFUL.  ABOUT WHAT I HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM MICROSOFT.

Moving the search bar was ridiculous and insane.   Someone needs shot or fired.

Microsoft needs real life users who are heavy users of Office Suite and understand a users needs.

Especially the need for a user not to have to move a mouse 19 miles to click in box to change focus, or learn another insane shortcut CTRL+E for search bar.  

Thank you for at least providing a f*ing way to turn off what Microsoft thinks is relevant under search options.

Now give us an option to MOVE the search back to below the ribbon.

I also just noticed that search is moved to title bar. 

I resolved by turning coming soon slider - off which is at right side corner and restarting the outlook.

Enjoy.
