OneNote "Search Notebooks" field covers the title and won't move

Exactly the same problem.
Evidently someone who never uses oneNote on a regular basis decided to change the layout without actually asking real users - again.
Put it back where it was. It now takes up note space and for those of use that use the multi column/free format oneNote is so good at it causes information to be hidden.
It is not conent so it should NOT/NEVER EVER etc be part of the content pane

Placing the "Search Notebooks" in one of the places shown in the picture above and not blocking Notebook real estate.

I find the new placement to be quite annoying!

I use OneNote in my business every day in English. This change obscures the left half of the page title.

Same issue here, i want it placed above the list of pages again, where seeing one page less doesn't matter at all.

Issue for me is that the tex box is also a third smaller expect if you manually make it bigger, so doesn't make sense at all.....

i dislike this change too, very ugly, dont understand why and who made this change.....

unfortunatelly looks like there is no option to move it back.
