The new Outlook search in the title bar is disconnected from the content it searches

+1 to the list of people who notice that it prevents us from using the Search tab in the ribbon.  You have to be crafty to get back to the ribbon, by clicking one of the dropdown arrows, then from there, click whatever else you're after.

E.g. 

1. Click into new search bar.
2. Click the "Recent Searches" Search ribbon tab button's down-arrow (this hides the fly-down menu from the new search bar that covers most of the Search ribbon tab).
3. Click whatever it was in the Search ribbon tab that you wanted to click in the first place.
