I'm not a fan of the new position. Any chance we are going to get the option to move it. Being left of center is not optimal for me. Prefer right aligned and preferably back where it used to be, right over the folder list. Where is is now placed is out of sight, out of mind. Plus it also appears squished and the text smaller than the rest of the text on the screen.
Also the drop down option to choose folder/mailbox is more complicated than before due to the default layout is the current folder with advanced features listed. If I want to change folder or mailbox I need to move the mouse to a different location to change. Considering 99.9% of of my search options consist of simply choosing the folder or mailbox I want to search then this new layout just become annoying for those 99.9% of the time I use it.
So sorry but not a fan of this change.
