    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.

    Regards

    Dave

    The location of this search bar renders it absolutely useless. One of our techs has been trying to remedy this for about an hour to no avail. 

    Microsoft needs to fix this!!!!

    Note that this is not broken, nor a bug. It is a design change. You could request a change at UserVoice, or on the Help menu of Outlook, hit the Feedback icon.

    Having a tech work on it though won't do anything. It is a design change and operating as intended.

    I am not sure how you say it renders it useless. I use it every day and it works like the old search, but doesn't take up additional screen space since it is in the title bar vs taking up a row in the email list.

    You can't fix criteria boxes anymore
