The new Outlook search in the title bar is disconnected from the content it searches
I appreciate the benefits of Microsoft Search in the Office apps but I'm getting feedback form multiple people that having the search in the title bar is unhelpful because they need to use the title ...
I think I can fix your problem. I fixed it on mine this morning.
Close out of all office programs except for OUTLOOK
Go to "FILE"
Scroll down to "OPTIONS"
In the middle, scroll down to "PRIVACY SETTINGS" click on this box
Then un-click "ENABLE OPTIONAL CONNECTED EXPERIENCES"
Click OK.
Restart Outlook
This put my search bar back to where it was prior to the updated new version.
Sadly we do not have the coming soon toggle in the upper right, the "Collapse by default" option, and BigJohn's suggestion of disabling connected experiences did not remedy the issue.
