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

[Bill656]

Just moved to the S25 from S23 and I'm not impressed with OneUI 7.

As far as the app screen/drawer is concerned, I know where all my apps are by muscle memory and only use the search function once in a blue moon. The search bar really should be far away from my fingers at the top like it has always been.

There should at least be an option to select the location of the search bar.

After taking away such basic functionality (search bar placement at the top) and forcing a major inconvenience for majority of your users, it is insulting that you bring up muscle memory and incredibly misleading to point customers to Goodlock which DOES NOT offer this as a customization. Shame on you Samsung. Enough Samsung! You're close to losing your life-long customers. Switching to Apple as soon as my Samsung phone breaks.

I'm using the free MS Launcher.  I'm assuming my screenshot is the default setting for my app tray.

Worst change finder is rarely needed should be away from fingers while I switch between work and personal profile which has been moved to the top. Now I need to use 2 hands to accomplish which was seamless earlier

Come on Samsung.  There is no solution so don't mark this as solved and please fix it.

Can you please add an option to disable this bottom search. Very annoying and on every other place its at the top
