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:
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

Hello Edwin Uruchima,
Thank you for posting this case in Microsoft Community!
Based on your description: A new "App Search" field has appeared to the right of the normal Search field in Outlook 2019. I would like to cooperate with you working on this case. For my suggestion, you may try following workaround:
2. If working fine in Outlook on the web, please try to run Outlook in safe mode if working fine nor not. This will help to check any add-ins installed in Outlook which causes this case. If work fine in safe mode, you may try to check and remove add-ins in Outlook.
Steps:
**A.**Close Outlook.
**B.**Launch Outlook in safe mode by choosing one of the following options.
o In Windows 10, choose Start, type Outlook.exe /safe, and press Enter.
o In Windows 7, choose Start, and in the Search programs and files box, type Outlook /safe, and then press Enter.
o In Windows 8, on the Apps menu, choose Run, type Outlook /safe, and then choose OK.
**C.**Close Outlook, and then open it normally.
Download and install or reinstall Microsoft 365 or Office 2021 on a PC or Mac - Microsoft Support
Hope the above workaround would be helpful. If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know, I will keep assisting you.
Your understanding and patience will be appreciated.
Thank you!
