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 ...
Absolutely RIDICULOUS.. this is perhaps one of the worst UI decisions I have seen in a very long time. for years the windows title bar served as the handle for window relocation, minimize and maximize. Who that this was the right place to search for content shown several hundred / thousands of pixels away!
Give us the option to put it back where it belongs in the message frame!!!
- I think the programmers were suffering from cranio-rectal inversion. As an added benefit, I think they slowed the response, time after one clicks on the search bar.
If I'm in a hurry and not thinking to move slower, I'll hit the search bar again, activating the shortcut to shrink the window. Sometimes, several windows open at once because the response time is so slow and I'll click again.
I have to learn to make slow methodical clicks now. That's progress for ya.
Maybe Microsoft is contracting out to those prisoners that got early release 🙂
Will someone please program a way to get around this issue?
