I have read through this post. I agree with all comments that the new search bar is awful. It only first showed up on my computer this past Friday (May 9, 2020). This post has two suggestions on how to get rid of it: (1) turn off "coming soon"; and (2) turn off "Enable optional connected experiences" in Privacy Settings. I do not have a "coming soon" button and my understanding is that this is pretty typical of the current version of Microsoft 365 for business. I tried the second suggestion as well. Although I was able to do it, it does absolutely nothing. I first tried doing it and just restarting Outlook, but that didn't work so I restarted my whole machine. Still does not work.

If anyone has any other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
