I have been using OneNote for years, all of a sudden when I opened it up today, the Search bar has moved from its correct place on top of the pages list on the side, to now being in the upper right corner of the actual notes main page.
When I type in a search, the list of pages where the search term shows up now covers up half of the notes field, meaning you can't read half of the page to see if the search result is actually what you are looking for or not, making the entire search function pretty much useless.
How can I move the search box, and more importantly, the list of pages that contain the search result, so that it no longer covers up the actual notes page that I need to read?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I did this the moment I noticed the foolish box in the midst of my note page back in May... to date no response. Deep, deep sigh 😒
I did that at the same time I posted about this issue originally.
Me too - but it is a good reminder for everyone posting here. Probably helpful to place "feedback" as both a "problem" and a "suggestion."
It looks like some of us (including myself) did that previously. I never received a response. :(
I would also suggest that we all go to this page (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/search-notes-in-onenote-539c3b56-accb-4e16-834d-61a6252ad65b) that is the supposed instructions for how to do a search in OneNote (that are out dated an incorrect after this last update broke it) and scroll down to the bottom of the page where it asks if the information was helpful, and of course select NO, then fill out the comment box as for why.
