Outlook 2019 - App Search field

Anonymous

A new "App Search" field has appeared to the right of the normal Search field. I can't seem to find any information on the articles explaining what this is or how to remove it. The "App Search" field also doesn't do anything. You can't type anything where it says App Search and nothing happens when you click the magnifying glass. A couple of things that have already been attempted:

  • restarted Outlook
  • restarted computer
  • checked on others on different computer (they also have it)
  • tried resetting view in settings

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

    " OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.17126.20132 worked for me!!

    Thank you to WarlockWeary1 for researching how to force a rollback update! "

    So it looks like the update :

    2024 January 30 Version 2401 (Build 17231.20182)

    Is the one that broke it !

    Your welcome ! Glad it worked for you !

    Yesterday on an update the feature was installed on a desktop of my company, I really would like to have an option to disable the App search! It is very annoying and it also does not work!!!

    Same issue. Why is this "app search" blocking my search bar?

    Has anyone found a fix yet? I'm assuming Microsoft doesn't have any live reps to help?
