One of my clients woke to a new search bar in Outlook 2016 right next to the regular search bar, the new search bar is called "App Search", it is bigger than the regular search bar, pushes it aside to the point that it is too small to work with, and the App Search bar itself doesn't work at all, you can click it but nothing happens, I have tried to find a way to remove it but even uninstalling and reinstalling the whole office suite the App Search bar still remains, she has two computers but only one is affected by it.

I would like some help with it, or at least make a notice of it so Microsoft can fix this bug.

    Γίνεται να μην παίρνουν την άδεια οι εφαρμογές για τέτοιες αποφάσεις? Έχει γίνει εκνευριστικό τον τελευταίο καιρό να παίρνουν αποφάσεις μόνες τους οι εφαρμογές της Microsoft και να κάνουν ότι θέλουν χωρίς την δική μας συγκατάθεση! Βασικά κάτι καλό δεν έχουμε δει τον τελευταίο καιρό, το search του Outlook συνεχώς "χτυπάει" όπως και η απόφαση να μικρύνουν τις γραμματοσειρές στις εφαρμογές του office χωρίς να μας ρωτήσουν ήταν άλλη μια μπαρούφα αυτός που το σκέφτηκε!

    Same problem. Windows 11 outlook 2019.

    What the hell is "App Search" anyway?

    I've seen Microsoft acknowledge this as a bug that will be fixed in the next release. To Microsoft developers:I'll personally never search for apps. Useless feature.

    Here is a suggested way that the fix should look. Go back to the previous search bar in Outlook and just add another entry to the dropdown list for "App Search".

    The fix is to wait until 2/13/2024 or roll the update back. There are some unsatisfactory workarounds too.
