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

Stupid bot-answer, solving nothing the user complained about!

I have the exact same issue. This "App Search" appeared out of nothing today. It just takes up space and doesn't do anything. You can't click it, type in it or anything else. It's just there.

Starting Outlook in Safe-Mode doesn't change it. It's still there.

This is my Version: Microsoft® Outlook® 2019 MSO (Version 2401 Build 16.0.17231.20182) 32 Bit

Same issue here. Just popped up on me today. Very irritating and no way to remove it.
