Is there any update on when we can expect this to reach standard release users? The message center post claimed it would be rolled out worldwide by the end of June. It is now almost the end of July and still only first release users can see the field at the top of the page in our tenant.

Emma_Degerman, thank you for reaching out. We've been working on some updates based on the feedback we have received from customers in Targeted Release, and this has pushed out our release by a few months. Our current estimate is that the new admin center changes will start rolling out in early September to enable Bookmarks, Locations, and Q&A configuration, and once that completes, we will complete the rollout with the search boxes moving to the top into the suite header towards the end of September.

Thank you for your patience!

Hi everyone,

Microsoft Search Admin rollout is expected to complete by October 1, and then we will start to roll out the search box updates in the first week of October. I will post another update when that rollout starts.

We appreciate your patience.

  Hello everyone,
  
  We have completed the rollout of the Microsoft Search Admin Center earlier this week.
  
  Today, we are extending the rollout out the updated search box experience to 10% of our customers. If all is well, we will go to 50% next week, and 100% the week after.
  
  Note that this rollout does not include government or our sovereign clouds at this time. These environments will receive these updates at a future date.

    Hi all, we are taking a pause from the rollout to ensure everything is working well for everyone. We will post again once we know when we will be resuming rollout!
