Is it possible to move the Search Box in Outlook to another position ?
Nope. Although they've gone through several iterations on this, so it might change in the future.

I just noticed the new location of the search bar. I dislike it.
In the past, I added several fields (To, From, Subject, Body) to the search field. Using these fields speeds up the search.
The current search bar (in the title bar) annoys me. I don't think it's an improvement.

This search window location and function is absolutely horrible. I don't know how this slipped through as being an improvementTheUltimateBug
- I fully agree - the previous search version was much better and faster. The current version is really annoying as I have to perform few additional mouse click each time when I'm searching by a name or by subject
New change is really pathetic. Earlier option was so better and convient one.
#outlook #microsoft need to reverse back to the original one.Also, they need to give more background color options..
Very unproductive! User-angry, needs unnecessary clicks ....
TheUltimateBug To change where your mail default searches --- You can go into Outlook Options >> down to Search >>>> Under Results >>>>> click All Mailboxes
I agree I don't like it either. It requires more time to move the mouse above the ribbon. I even move my quick tools below the ribbon to save on mouse movement. Unless you are going to add a keyboard shortcut to jump to the search field - it should be moved back! TheUltimateBug
TheUltimateBug Always looks off center to me.
At least you can still get to your fields for searching - it's an extra click, but after you click in search you can then click on the 'all mailboxes' - you get your fields and can add.
Still not as convenient.
