This morning Outlook updated and I noticed there is a new search bar to search apps, how may I remove this bar?

I do not use apps, do not want to use apps and have no need to search for them.

If this is related to MS Team and conjoining everything, I still want to remove this app search bar in Outlook.

Please help.

Thank you!

    2. Have you tried opening Outlook and click on the "File" tab in the top left corner > Click on "Options" in the left-hand menu > In the Outlook Options window, click on "Search" in the left-hand menu > Under the "Sources" section, uncheck the box next to all folders, and remain with outlook only > Under the "Results" section, uncheck the box next to "Show results as I type" > Click on "OK" to save your changes? This should remove the app search bar from your Outlook interface.

    I am having this same issue with the "App Search Bar" appearing with the latest update. I am running classic Outlook 2019 MSO version 2401 (Build 16.0.17231.20170). I've tried following the steps outlined in above, but I don't have an "all folders" option under "Sources" in Options-->Search as described and unchecking "Show results as I type" did not remove the app search bar.
