Is it possible to move the Search Box in Outlook to another position ?

Hello,

 

We found that the Search Box was moved into the title bar of our desktop Outlook 365. Is it possible to change its position ?

 

Cheers

  • Nope. Although they've gone through several iterations on this, so it might change in the future.

      Please Microsoft, put the search bar back at top of mail list. You did this nonsense to me a couple of years ago, then we thankfully got it back in place in my company, but now it's back on title bar again. Terrible. I waste so much time as I have to search throughout my workday to find the exact message.
      PLEASE!

      Instead of a bunch of us just complaining about it, how do we bring this to Microsoft's attention?

       

      Is there a moderator we need to call out?

        fganter   I started this question hoping someone in MS would see it.  I believe someone else previously commented that MS doesn't monitor this group and if that is correct... other than hoping someone in the community has found an answer and to know that we are not the only ones who do not like it... we can only hope that there is a person or persons who can and will bring this to the attention of the right people.  fingers crossed!

      I have seen this happen with a lot of technology lately. It seems they taking something that worked and changing it for the sake of "look we changed it" and it's not an improvement, makes additional clicks for the same work like the search bar.  I hope they change this in the next update or at least make it so people can choose where to put it.
