The new Outlook search in the title bar is disconnected from the content it searches
MaryB Moving the search bar to the header for outlook has significantly interfered with my ability to use the search feature (which I use many times a day). Formally the search bar was inline with All and Unread at the top of the email results grid. Clicking into the bar enables the "Search" menu and adds new options such as From, To, Subject, etc. At the same time, the type ahead window opens down and covers nothing of importance.
However, in the new position in the header of the app, the type ahead covers the search options so I have to click away from search to enable the From, To, Subject commands. Moving the search bar makes the experience clunky, it now requires more clicks, and it feels frustrating. For Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc haveing the search in the header is fine. In Outlook the placement does not support the user because it hinders the full functionality of the search feature. Microsoft Support How do I move the search bar back?
