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

This simply has the be the worst UI design I have ever come across :-(
It is an absolute nightmare to use and the text editing in the input box behaves awkwardly. The selection behavior is rigid and the placement obstructs other command when using the search bar.
This change is absolute disaster, not only it moves the most frequent thing I use in Outlook to inconvenient position, it is also more cumbersome to use due to its dropdown behavior. I want my separate search fields to be always displayed and stay on the same position without jumping back and forth. This new Search box is so annoying and bad. I can't emphasize how it destroyed my Outlook experience in a polite way for this board.
If someone from my organization designed something like this I'd fire UX/UI designer immediately include the manager who approved this decision.
Totally agree
I think the IT departments from some very large companies need to get together with legal council and mount a class action law suite against Microsoft for widespread inefficiencies that lead to higher costs across the board.

it didn't work... and for the new look..it is not appealing but more on the appalling side..
Developing backward and removing users choice where is the search bar is located is the Microsoft best choice as usual. Why Microsoft not choosen an agricultural path or mining? (software development not suits for them)
