The new Outlook search in the title bar is disconnected from the content it searches
Carm465 As far as I understand the toggle 'Coming Soon' was implemented as a tool for Microsoft to collect feedback on future feature releases in the client, and at the same time allowing you to try the new experience at your convenience. When they received sufficient info it was withdrawn in the new version release (obviously as suggestions had already been handled). Then it was introduced as a feedback tool again. With this in mind, if seeing the toggle or not, I believe it's all about which version/build you're using or that your administrator has disabled it with a policy.
- Admin didn't disabled it, is there a revert button or can I download an older build for outlook with the search bar on it's default location or am I stuck with the search bar on the title bar?
Carm465 Hello, I'm also on version 2004 (Build 12730.20236) with no option to revert to the legacy location. But on another machine I'm using version 2003 (Build 12624.20466) and the toggle is there (it's the previous update for the Monthly Channel). Depending on your configuration you can change the build manually.

If that's not applicable you can try experimenting with the command prompt (launched as admin).
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\
OfficeC2RClient.exe /changesetting Channel= 'your choice'
OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user
You should be able to get several hits if searching for the procedure.
