Remove Search bar from the Title Bar in Office 365 appsKindly bear in mind, the steps outlined in the post will not actually remove the Microsoft Search bar completely from Office 365 Title Bar completely. Instead, it will shrink the size or collapse it down to just a magnifying glass icon. To do this:

  1. Launch Office 365 application (Word)
  2. Access Word Options Menu
  3. Collapse Microsoft Search box

Please note that with the Microsoft Search Box collapsed you can still access it by clicking on the Magnifying glass icon or simply pressing Alt+Q in combination.
