How to move the app screen search box/bar back to the top?

I updated my S22 Ultra to One UI version 7.0
The search bar moved from the top to the bottom.  I HATE this.  I want the search bar back on the top where God, baby Jesus, and our UI forefathers intended it to be. 

How do I make this happen?

One UI is Samsung's Launcher, Samsung isn't Google. Using a non-Samsung Launcher is the solution for now.
The Nova Launcher lets you pick the location of the app search bar.

Personally I think it's better and makes more sense being at the bottom, but just as others have said, you can't change it.

Well, that is just like your opinion man. It wouldn't be bad if it wasn't on the top for like 40 years. Don't make changes that will make people extremely angry that can't be reverted with an option. I use my phone while riding my motorcycle, making changes like this is frustrating if not dangerous.

I like Samsung products, but they make some questionable decisions. I was on vacation in Mexico with a Note 7 when they banned them from being on airplanes and had to leave my phone in Mexico. ....I am far more upset up about this, at least when they were catching on fire they gave me my money back.

Me too!  I feel like as someone who is neurodiverse seemingly small changes like this really throw me into a spiral!  I hate every aspect of the update and just want proper android features back :'(
