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!

You should quit giving this pre-typed response. Clearly if you read the comments people have given plenty of examples of (English Language) where the Search Box and/or the drop-down menus block text and or title bars. Your generic response might be considered offensive to some.

This entire page sums up my frustration with Microsoft products and support as of late. Half-baked and unnecessary U.I. changes that feel like they were just made for the sake of change followed by responses from support that haven't updated their support material to reflect the change or is not at all related to the issue.

Then again, if Microsoft support teams are fully reliant on OneDrive, Sharepoint, and OneNote, their respective knowledge bases have not synced up and OneDrive is stuck "Looking for Changes".

To create more space for tabs or pages, my suggestion is to move the "search notebooks" function next to the Sticky Notes and Share buttons. There is plenty of space there at most resolutions and it will not hinder the viewing pane in any way.

Yes it is in English, but even with the search being on the right side of the notes field, it is still in the way of the left half of the screen, meaning if I have a long title, it still cuts off part of it. Especially when you actually click on the box to do a search and the list of results pops out even further to the left.

It is VERY unfair to force a change onto one group of people to help them and then cause an issue for another group of people who the app used to work for and now it doesn't.

Which one is worse, An app that just never worked for you so you probably didn't use it, or having an app that used to work for you that you have been using for almost a decade and now due to a forced change it stopped working?

The WRONG solution is to screw over one group of people to try and help a different group of people, especially in an app that already lets you move some things from one side to the other. That's not solving a problem, that's just moving the same problem from one group of people to another.

The CORRECT solution, and what should have been done AND what needs to be done to fix the mistake, is if some people want a feature on the left, and some people want it on the right, then put an option in to let them pick where they want it. Or if it is an issue with only certain languages, then ONLY enable the new search option for people who select those languages and leave it alone for everyone else.
