The new search location is awful. After trying, unsuccessfully to find a way to move it back, I finally reverted back to the previous version of Office 365:

I'm now running Version 2003 (Build 12624.20466) and the search bar is where I want it.

Don't forget to turn off automatic updates if you revert.

Hopefully, enough people hate this "feature" and they fix it in a future update.

Also, you can vote here to let Microsoft know:

Moving the search to the title bar was a BAD idea. Please let us know how to revert this change. It is causing a lot of pain to our users (and those of us that support them)

Yep, an awful mess for no reason at all.

Replaces mailbox name in the title bar.

No longer searches as you type (despite options checked).
