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 ...

Tested the fast ring Outlook - not at fan at all. I've left feedback because it seems like it's not going to be a useful change going forward.

None of my users like this change either. They are also not on the insider preview version of outlook.

    This has appeared for one of our staff now as well. They are on Monthly Channel (Targeted) so it seems they are the first to receive it. Confused the hell out of them to have search just disappear (yes it only moved, but that's not where their eyes look for it) and they don't like it. The option to move it back would be ideal. I have no idea what benefit this is supposed to bring.

      Horrible change. offers no benefit and it considerably impacts the user experience. Revert back or offer to move it back in the config would be ideal.

      100% agreed. This search box on the outlook title bar is terrible.

      I'm glad an authoritative voice as Paul noted this, so I hope the will retire or modify this behaviour.

       

      Thanks.
