The new Outlook search in the title bar is disconnected from the content it searches
I agree MaryB My group is 1)confused where it went 2) tried several things to get the old bar back 3) dislike the search results.. They like the effortlessness of where the search bar was above the Inbox.

- On my office PC, the search is at the top however on my home PC and my laptop, the search bar is down under the ribbon where i like it. all versions are Microsoft 365 and up to date so I have no idea why they are different
Same problem. I have four installs of Microsoft 365 Outlook desktop and I never know which one will show what search bar. Yesterday the new search bar was in the title bar. Today, after forcing a version update (MS "Update" wont' do it), the search is back to it's old position.
What's with this? Why not let users control this?
ricardoswe Well, I was able to do one thing to make the pain less from the new search bar -- I put in several dozen separators in the quick action toolbar. That pushes the search farther to the right in the title bar, which works better for me. YMMV.
