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?

It is not good for finger and hand movement. Please provide an update where that finder search bar can be placed manually

It is the One UI 7 launcher.  If I use the Microsoft Launcher the app search bar is back on top.

It was Android- microsoft isnt Android. Google made the change for it to be at the bottom

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.

Did is you just samsung and google launchers are different? Samsung ui7 is built on android- android is built for by google..... all Android devices naturally will have the app draw the same

This has to be one of the dumbest decisions made yet for the UI.  At least all the other ***** it messed up I can put back close to what it was, but having no option to put the search bar where it belongs is a horrible decision.
